The DEWALT DW788 20-inch scroll saw is a serious machine for anyone who cuts intricate curves, inlays, or fine furniture parts. Its double parallel-link arm design significantly reduces vibration and noise, so you can follow a line with confidence. The 1.3-amp motor and variable-speed trigger let you match blade speed to the material, while the tool-free blade clamps and front-mounted tension lever make blade changes quick and easy.
This scroll saw has a 20-inch throat, meaning it can handle stock up to 20 inches deep. The oversized cast-iron table gives a stable work surface, and the parallel-link arm keeps the blade perpendicular as it moves. If you cut dovetails, puzzles, or craft projects, you'll appreciate the reduced vibration and accurate tracking.
The DW788 uses pinless (plain-end) scroll saw blades—blades without pins that are held by the tool-free clamps. Blade categories like 'standard,' 'reverse-tooth,' or 'spiral' all work as long as they are the correct 5-inch length. To set tension, flip the blade-tensioning lever on the front top arm until the blade feels firm and rings slightly when plucked. This is the key to avoiding wander and breakage.
If you're a woodworker, hobbyist, or sign maker who cuts tight-radius curves, the DW788 is a favorite. Its 20-inch capacity and low-vibration design also make it a good choice for cutting multiple stacked pieces or working with delicate hardwoods.

Start with a sharp pinless blade and set tension until the blade rings. Use a medium speed for hardwoods and a higher speed for softwoods and plastics. Keep the work moving steadily; don't force the blade. For inside cuts, the pivoting arm lifts to let you thread the blade through a starter hole without loosening anything.
The DW788's tool-free clamps make blade experimentation easy, so you'll quickly find the right blade for each project.
The DW788 uses pinless (plain-end) scroll saw blades, typically 5 inches long. This includes standard, reverse-tooth, and spiral blades designed for scroll saws.
Use the blade-tensioning lever on the front upper arm. Turn it until the blade is firm and makes a clear ringing sound when plucked. Over-tensioning can break blades; under-tensioning causes drift.
The depth of cut is 2 inches for wood, but for best results you should adjust speed and blade selection for thicker material.
No, the tool-free clamps are designed for pinless blades. Pinned blades won't fit correctly. Use pinless blades to get the best performance.
Cuts so smooth.
I bought this for my woodworking hobby. It's easy to use and very accurate. The variable speed helps with delicate cuts.
I've been doing scroll saw work for over 25 years. This DEWALT is the best scroll saw I've ever used. The parallel-link arm keeps the blade from wandering. The tool-free blade clamps are a huge improvement over my old one. The variable speed is smooth and precise. It's quiet and has very little vibration. I can make intricate cuts without breaking blades. It's a joy to use.
It's a great saw for the price. The table tilts easily. I wish the dust blower was more powerful.
I teach a woodworking class and these saws are my go-to for students. They are safe and easy to operate. The blade changes are quick, which keeps the class moving. The saw runs true and makes precise cuts. The dust collection works well with a shop vac. I've had mine for two years and no issues. It's a solid machine for both beginners and pros.
Very good saw.
I use it for making ornaments. It's precise and fun. The instructions were clear.
I'm an engineering student and I use this for prototypes. It cuts thin wood accurately. The variable speed is useful for different materials. The blade tensioning is easy. The only thing I don't like is the lack of a built-in light. But I can add one. Overall, a great saw.
This is a gift for my grandson. It's well made and sturdy. He loves it.
I've had many scroll saws in my workshop. This one is by far the best. The blade changes are tool-free and take seconds. The built-in dust port keeps my shop cleaner. The saw doesn't vibrate, even at high speeds. The table tilts accurately. I'm thoroughly impressed.
