~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

their choice of any other model of Scroll Saw.

Continued Use of the DW 788 WILL in MOST  hobbyists cause extreme addiction leading to loss of sleep, loss of family members and marriage partners and dramatic increase in the urge to complete projects heretofore never attempted!

After reading the warning I felt compelled to make some sawdust.

Thanks, I enjoyed it.

Being single and alone, I hug my DeWalt 788 each time I go to the shop.
In fact it is getting jealous because I spend way to much time reading the forum that I could be spending with him  ;)
