Dewalt has launched a new woodworking scroll saw, model DXVS4502, and it looks to only exist at Lowe’s.
There’s a lot going on here.
First, this is Dewalt’s first scroll saw in like forever. Some of Dewalt’s benchtop woodworking tools are well-regarded classics, such as their DW788. The new model is considerably less expensive, and hopefully isn’t intended to replace the DW788.
Second, it looks to only be available at Lowe’s. The same has been true for their recent workshop sander. So is this some kind of new partnership between Dewalt and Lowe’s?
Features include a 1.6A motor, 18″ throat depth, 45° left and 15° right tilt, 400-1500 RPM variable speed, and gooseneck blower. It’s said to be compatible with both pin and straight blade types.
The DX part of the DXVS4502 model number implies that this is a licensed product, similar to Dewalt’s vacuums, certain cordless outdoor power tools, auto accessories, and electronic accessories. But most Lowe’s shoppers won’t know that – they’ll just see the Dewalt name.
It’ll be interesting to see what else Dewalt launches at Lowe’s. Makers, hobbyists, and really everyone can really use some better benchtop tool options, such as drill presses and band saws.
