I paid $150 for a type 1 DW 788 and it is my back up saw. when my saw was down for 3 weeks I made sure I hd a back up

I did the same thing. It was one of those deals too good to let go. Paid $150 and it was brand new. Got it when Home Depot was selling them out. Made a great deal on it with stand and it too is a back up for me. With blades and all it would definitely be worth it. That is if it works well. 30 hours is not even breaking in time.

You are right - one cannot have too many tools  - but as far as it being a guy thing - no, not really.  ;)  :lol:  :oops: My husband would be happy to confirm that.  :)

In Washington state.  This is a type one.  If I had the money and it was good I'd own it even though I don't need it.

All my Dw788's had not a scratch on them,All had the same story,couple hours or less use.All had a price i couldn't refuse from $100 to $250.All started to knock shortly after the amazing kevin started knocking down tall wood piles to short ones.Is there a common denominator in saws i buy or is it me?I'm sure they just need to be re greased with synthetic grease.I do tend to wear gloves after scrolling long hours from the heat build up,lol Lucky you ! I need to get into my stack and regrease them an press out two bearings per machine
