The comfort knobs you show, would they fit on a porter cable scroll saw? <br />Thanks<br />Tim<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04641963225407008199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502782163100095998.post-54605527366663363222019-01-13T22:16:54.605-05:002019-01-13T22:16:54.605-05:00Hi Tom, congrats on the new saw!

I was really surprised there is such a big difference between an entry level one and the Dewalt. <br /> It just makes the work easier and more fun when the tool is user friendly.

Thanks so much for sharing your unbox...Hello Steve. Thanks so much for sharing your unboxing and your setup. I’ve had a Harbor Freight Scroll Saw for many years and have “gotten by” with it. I retire in a couple of months and I’ll be doing more scrolling so I decided to update. Three days ago I went and ordered a Dewalt DW788 at Home Depot just like yours. It will be here in about a week. I’m like a kid in a candy store waiting on it to arrive. I can’t wait to do more scrolling on a great machine. Thanks !<br /><br />Tom in TexasAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306755117580233469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502782163100095998.post-52438304058967233962018-12-16T12:11:17.109-05:002018-12-16T12:11:17.109-05:00Craigslist is the only way I know.

Why would you not just include the bolt with the knob, eliminate the millwork and do everything on the lathe? What is the advantage of this concept?Caracauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600079978895368310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8502782163100095998.post-80103604451015295292016-05-06T19:30:47.512-04:002016-05-06T19:30:47.512-04:00Thanks Steve.
