Pulling the trigger - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hello all, newbie here. A little about me...I got into woodworking about three years ago..built a bar for a house I bought...and enjoyed it very much. Recently built an entertainment center for the stereo and DVD player, and had some scraps left over. I had bought a Sears scrollsaw several years back for another hobby I've since left, and never really used the thing. Anyway, took a chunk of scrap, and bought the scrollsaw magazine, for S&G's, and did the giraffes. Wife LOVED it, demanded I do more, in fact, she has about 15 patterns waiting for me. However,was'nt at all happy with how the saw cut, so went looking.
I've decided on the Dewalt DW788, and have decided I also should get an oscilating spindle sander at the same time. (hehe, new tools, hehe)...I'm going through Grizzly and ordering the whole match at the same time.

Has anyone else got this sander? If so, pros and cons? Thanks in advance:

Bubba,
first welcome aboard, you could not have found a better group of folks to share your learning experience with.

I don't have tha particular sander. I do have the oscillating spindle sander by Ridgid from Home depot I got it because it also has the belt sander on it..Several of us have that one. John just ordered the grizz one though i think that is what I saw.
