chippygeoff Posted October 31, 2011 Report Posted October 31, 2011 Hi Everyone. Being a newbie to scroll sawing I am on here a lot asking questions and I am very grateful for the help and advice you more experienced scrollers have given me. Another question. On my DeWalt 788 I have 1mm of play between the blade clamp and the arm. I would like to know if this is correct or should it be tight, there are two allen bolts holding the clamp to the arm. many thanks. Geoff. Quote
Marshall Posted November 1, 2011 Report Posted November 1, 2011 I would try some cuttings before I made any ajustments to anything on the saw first . the main thing is to have a small 2" square to set on the table to show weather the blade is true and go from their .........my thoughts -- go and try to make some saw-dust and examine your finished product ........my Dewalt has pretty much been maintence free so far .........

Hosie Posted November 8, 2011 Report Posted November 8, 2011 the play your are talking about is normal on a 788.I have been using a 788 for about 10yrs.when you tension the blade there is no play. Quote
