Hello,
I just recently invested in a new dw788 scroll saw. My poor porter cable scroll saw was crying for a replacement. The saw has some impressive features but I'm running into a major problem with it and wondered if others have also.
I make free standing puzzles and cut 3/4" stock material mostly. I've tested cutting on several different hardwoods and its impossible to get a consistent 90 degree cut which is essential for puzzle making. I have tried different blades, different tension settings from the lowest to the max, adjusted the table several times....i've taken the entire thing off and replaced it 2 times. The blade is square to the blade prior to every test cut. I use ultra reverse #5 flying dutchmen blades for 90% of my work.
So any idea what is going wrong? I've exhausted every possibility I can think of. Its so strange considering my previous 2 low grade saws didn't have this problem at all. Any suggestions would help immensely.
