Good day fellow scrollers.
Have a question that I've seen on these forums, but the theads are rather old. My question is top feeding a blade on a Dewalt 788. I've been scrolling for 6 years and have always bottom fed the blade. I can do a blade change in 12 seconds.
However I've been toying with portraits and the larger sizes are crimping that routine. I need to learn to top feed the blade. I've looked a videos and read remarks, but honestly I tried a few times this past week and I bet I fumbled for a couple minutes to get the blade into the bottom clap (without looking) and then on my Dewalt I find to get good tension I need to push the top arm down slightly when clamping the blade. This move really requires three hands.
So is there any update on top feeding techniques for a Dewalt 788? Pointers, modification to clamps, suggestions?
Thanks all. I'm going to post this across several forums to get good coverage so I appologize in advance.
