Dewalt 788 age?

Its anywhere from 12 to 15 years old. The tubular stand is not original to that saw. When DeWalt sent the manufacturing of the saw to Taiwan, they changed to the tubular stand. Customers hated that stand, so they switched back to the current stand..

That why I built my own stand from 2x4s and 2x6s.  Then I used some scrap wood for a top and made the stand into a stand for my e-cheap drill-press.

I too have that same saw with the tubular stand. I just finished building a new stand for it. My saw has a 4 digit serial number in the 57** range. I have also been told it's in the neigborhood of 12-15 years old. I took it all apart over this last weekend and found it to be in very good shape for it's age. I was searching for a vibration at high speed and found that the tension control bolt was about half way out. Once tightened and sitting on it's new stand, no more vibration,. I'm very happy with my saw. I see many years of service coming from it. And thanks for the idea of what to do with the old stand.
