I have had my DW788 for about two months. I have used it to cut about one hundred Christmas ornaments out of a wide variety of 1/4 hardwoods. I have cut stacks of four at a time but have done most of the cutting with one ornament at a time. I have used Pegas, Flying Dutchman, Olson and Craftsman blades on size 2 through 9.  Being a cheapskate I built my own stand and attached a cheap led light. I use a foot switch to operate the saw, which is in turn connected to Niles current sensing outlet. I have shop-vac connected to the outlet so that it powers on when I depress the foot switch. I have been very please with the results. The saw operates smoothly and makes clean cuts. I cannot say that there has been a single issue related to the saw in the time I have owned it. I was previously using a Delta 40-540. The Delta was approximately ten years old and showing signs of wear. The improvement in cut quality of the Dewalt is amazing. Whether I am making inside cuts or cutting the final product from the blank, the results are perfect. This saw is without questions one of the best tool purchase I have made.
