Top arm on DW788

Recommended Posts

Just curious how many people with the DeWalt saw have purchased the gadget for locking the arm in the upright position,  I find I use a piece of wood that I slide in there does the trick for me. What are some other ideas out there. Also am I the only one that keeps sticking my blade in the blowhose when I lower the arm down? It's most annoying.

I have bungee cord attached to my saw, then to the ceiling, lifts automatically when blade is released, you have to have just the right amount of pressure so the arm doesn't fly up when you release the blade, I have a pretty long bungee, been using this for a few years now. Smitty

I use the 2 X 4  and I do not feel it takes any time to set or Unset. It is an automatic part of cutting for me and I just don't feel the need for a device for it. Maybeif I had one, I would feel differently about it, but it is so much easier than trying to wrestle with the arm, that as soon as i finally tried it, I could not find any fault in it. 

 

Larry...try the 2X4 it is so much better than using your own arm.. hey maybe others would say the same thing to me about the lifter arm.
