NJ Phil Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Took the plunge. Brought back the Porter Cable and picked up a 788. There is some blade movement forward on the down stroke and rearward on the up stroke. Any suggestions? Thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan-Woodman Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Thats normal movement for a good scrollsaw. That makes it more agresive on the down stroke My first saw I ever owned was an AMT $ 89.00 and the blade accually moved back on the down stroke and forward on the upstroke. Neadless to say it didn't cut very well , until I reworked it and added a veriable speed,blower etc. I still use it today for thin material ,small jobs. later Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vector01 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 This blade offset is common to the Dewalt saws. Check this out, it might help. viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3622 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
