Title: New Dewalt 788
Post by: Dragonlord85 on May 23, 2010, 01:51:33 pm

On my way to pick up a nearly new DeWalt 788 that I found on craigslist for $200. The owner was wanting $250 but I talked him into $200, it has the stand and light with it. Will let you know how it is as soon  as I get it home and running.

Well the new saw is all set up. Had to make a couple of minor adjustments to get a square cut but now all is gooooooooood!! Compared to my other saw this one cuts so smooth it's like going through hot butter. I was having trouble controlling it at first but quickly adapted my cutting methods.

Cool!  Great price!  I'm scared of Craigslist.  I have trust issues.   ;D

I love my DeWalt.  I too got it for $200.00 on Craigslist.  Still in the box.

Just completed the first project on my new saw and I love it. At first feeding the blade from the top was a little wierd but I quickly got the hang of it and now I would not feed from the bottom. I will post a picture of the poroject as soon as I get a chance.
