As mentioned on a previous post about my new DW788, I could square my blade on the right side of the table but not on left. I put a straight edge from right to left on the table and it was NOT flat. As you probably know, these tables are cast and then machined flat.
I went to exchange my table at Western Tool, the place I bought the saw from. However, the table they wanted to exchange had the same problem. It also was not flat. Fortunately, the Dewalt repair station was a short way down the road and when the tech checked the table with his straight edge, he saw that it had a crown of about 1/8". Thank goodness he agreed with me because I thought mabybe I was being too pickey. I had to leave the table there and of course their sending me a new one.
I have only been scrolling a short time and am already feeling withdrawals. What the heck, it'll give me some time to fix up a dust collector on my radial arm saw.
Now for the question. For those of you with a DW788, if you have the time would you please put a straight edge across your table, just in front of the blade opening and tell me what you find?
