Dewalt DW788 Table hole issue. - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Has anyone figured out how to fixe the hole problem with the dw788? It was cut off center to the blade. I used some sanding strips on it yesturday and the strips actually cut the hole wider and left a ridge. I'm tempted to take my dremel to it, but I wanted to see if there was a real solution first.

It's not actually a big problem, just an annoying one.

I don't really suggest you try this but my recent purchase of a refurbished type 2 I bought through Amazon all they seemed to have done to correct the off center hole was to bend the upper and lower arms to your left as your facing the saw I know its laughable but thats what the did
