One more thing. Don't forget to check the brushes.

I've never done any scroll sawing and didn't want to invest in a new
high quality scroll saw until I am comfortable with the skill. I
bought a used DW788 for $100.00 knowing it needed some repairs. After
spending another $100.00 for a new on/off switch and variable speed
control with the circuit board, it works great. I do have one question
however. When I increase the speed past about 600 rpm, it starts to
skip and stall and actually slow down. It doesn't knock or make any
other bad sounds. It just seems to start skipping strokes. Does anyone
have any idea what may be causing the problem?

I have been doing some limited research on the DW788. Dewalt didn't
put a lot of effort into posting much information about it on their
web site. Can someone tell me the difference between the 788 and the
788L models?

Thanks

Ted
