rjR Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Apparently you have previous experience! The long throated monster in the backgrouund still looks viable; too. I sometimes have 2 saws setup at the same time. The scond is a 16" not a ?? like your 2nd. The 788 is a nice saw. You should enjoy it! I did make a different lamp mount-- put it on the stand and very easily moved even from side to side. My lamp is one of the long reach spring armed type-- with a flourescent type bulb.. Good light-- doesn't get hot and lasts well. I broke the original bulb in the DW lamp the first week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amazingkevin Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 right package wrong address,send it on down ,That looks so sweet I wanted to kiss the pc screen. Must be nice to get a brand new one.! You will be amazed at the no noise it produces when running that's the first thing that impressed me and then the no vibration .it's like scrolling on a cloud.I'm glad this happened it brings back fond memories I forgot about and got used to real quick.ENJOY Christmas early!!!

Tdub4ever Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thanks! @rjR, that's a 24" 2 speed Craftsman. And yes, it's a monster! I have that one and a 16" Ryobi. The Ryobi parts have been trash lately and the Craftsman only has snail and lightning speeds. So I got ol' yeller. Test cut a couple pieces, not gonna get down till tomorrow. The best part of it is, I won't have to share my radio with the neighbors any more! It's a quiet saw! keefie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heppnerguy Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 keep us posted on how you like it. I like mine more every time I use it. It became my friend as I learned how to use it all without thinking about anything. Changing rom on e hole to the next is automatic and not a bother, after only a short time of using. same saw that i have. I know someone that has had one for years and and enever used it. I am going to offer him $200 for it.. Hope he bites. I would love to have a second one. You rock.. got make the sawdust pile grow.

Tdub4ever Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Started cutting this morning, a potrait from Charles Dearing. I have a question, hoping it's just because it's new and I'm not familar with it. While I'm cutting, off and on there is a rattle in the housing for the upper arm. It's not very loud but it does sound like something is lose or coming lose. Is this something the saw does till it is broke in or is it worth getting it looked at?

heppnerguy Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 sometimes your saw might make a lot of noise depending on the wood and the blade. I sometimes just try a different blade and all the noise stops. I hope that helps...It could be as simple as that... Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
