I've also seen them at my local Woodcraft.

An excellent addition to the saw. I'd really hate to try anything serious without mine.

OOO I wonder if that works on the excaliber 21in since general makes both the dewalt and the excaliber, but I know there is the difference in that the arm tilts on the excaliber...

General does not make both the Dewalt and the Excaliber. Originally, years ago they were designed by the same outfit, but that was years ago. And, no, I do not think the easylift will work on a excaliber.

I have been wondering about this easy lift system , just haven't had the time to check it out . thanks for the web site I'll put it in my favorites for sure .........Marshall

Nope

I sent an email over to them and they said dewalt only. Supposidly the excaliber does have a locking mechanism for the arm but I've yet to discover it. But I'm still happier than my old delta where I had to bend the blade to get it into all the holes!

Charise, when you raise your arm up on your EX@!, it should stay in the up position until you lower it. If yours doesnt, give SEYCO a call, because it should.

Once you use the easy lift system on your 788 you won't do without it. David
