Hey Smitty,
Congratulations, I took the plunge about a month ago and have been very satisfied with my DW788.

Enjoy.

Good choice! Listen to Dale though, might as well order up the blades. And don't think "a couple a dozen will do." If you're really hooked, you'll be buying them by the gross! You'll go throurh the first dozen or so just learning about tension and turning... Also be warned, the first time you bust a blade, it'll scare the hell out of you!

Hey smitty, I think Im gonna get me one of those saws to. ( Dewalt DW 788 ). I have a craftsman 16 inch variable, I just bought. It gave up the ghost. The funeral was sad. The uligy went as follows ....( Here lies a Craftsman saw I just bought, Should have spent the money on a Dewalt......Moment of silence Please........

Congrats, Smitty. I did the same thing (Amazon--free shipping) not too long ago, and the big yellow box showed up a day early!

Good Choice Smitty- I made the mistake of trying a cheaper saw- It was a disaster. I to just opted for A DW788 I love it.
