I have the DW788, but never checked to see which type it is. However, they,ll have to pry my saw from my cold, dead hands!!!:gar-Bi You may find the need to do a little tune up on it. Treat the table top with a product like Top Saver, which will reduce friction on the work piece; make sure the thumb screws on the blade holders are CLEAN and the end that pinches the blade should be squared, not round. If the saw has a knocking sound, that is remedied by taking the top screw out of the tension lever, removing it, then remove screws from the sides of the black housing. Be sure to go slowly and not lose the small bushing when you remove the cap. There is a rod with an L shape end that goes to the rear, with the front of the short L sticking up into the housing. After removing the metal housing piece, turn the L end of the rod one turn clockwise, and reassemble. You will notice when you tension the blade again, the tension lever won't travel as far to the right to achieve the required tension amount, and the knocking will mostly be gone. Good luck! Enjoy a great saw!:saw:
