I'm just curious. How long have you had the same saw with no problems at all/ I've had an eclipse for 9 yrs. and not one problem. I've had a few saws over the yrs but this one is a dream and well worth the money. Just hope I have'nt jinxed myself. lol dogs

I bought my DeWalt 788 in June of 1998, and aside from a little tightening of stuff, it's been a trusty tool...
Love my 788...

I've had my dewalt since 2001 just upgraded to an ex21. The 788 is still a backup saw."Still Montana Mike"

I have had my RBI Hawk G4 26 since April of 2005. I have put over 2151 hours on it with no issues. I have an hour meter on it that tracks when the saw is running. That equates to about 6 hours per week.
That 6 hours does not count the thread and clamp time.Last edited by Rolf; 05-13-2012, 05:52 PM.Rolf

I recieved my Hawk 220 in 2002 as a bday gift from the hubby. The first motor was faulty. They replaced it that week and I haven't had any issues since.

If all scroll saws come equiped with an hour meter that would tell the true story
of their reliability providing they were properly maintained.Stoney aka Al

by will8989Never thought doing it that way. I made top piece out of 1/4” plywood to place on top of my Hegner table. I use carpet tape to hold in place. I only use it for my extra large baskets but I like your idea. Thanks!...
