The DeWalt DW788 scroll saw is an excellent saw. I love many of the features but there is one very annoying omission that drives most scrollers crazy about the saw. The upper arm will not stay in the upright position while inserting a new blade or doing interior cuts. Most people get around this by placing a block of wood under the arm when they need it to stay up. That works but is hardly a perfect solution. Jim Dandy Products solved the problem with their Easy Lift system. I have the Easy Lift installed on both of my DeWalt saws and highly recommend their use. The video shows the system being installed om my newest DeWalt saw.
The Easy Lift sell for around $20. The installation is simple and the results are great. If you have or plan to buy the DeWalt DW788 scroll saw make sure you budget for the price of this system. You will want one, trust me.
