    dewalt scroll saw?

    I am the newest 1285th member to sign on. I hope I get replies to answers i post and I thank you for them now if don't reply back to you. My question now is; how do I check for wear and tear of the moving parts on my dewalt 788. How much should the blade move in the x and y axis. Is there some where to have the machine checked by dealers and if so what would it cost about? :-/

      I don't have much doubt that I asked these questions to Denny in an email back when I got my Pegas saw from him. But none of my saved emails were transferred over from the old computer to this new one.

      Since what I use mostly is 3/4-inch pine and 1/4 inch multiply which pegas blade would...

      Great work and patience needed to pull off these smaller toys. You did a fantastic job! I really like them.

      I'm curious to know what type of paints you use if you don't mind sharing the brand name.
