MrMayor Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I have a Dewalt 12" chop saw that sticks when moving it to one of the 45 degree angles. Thoughts on how to make it move smoothly? Any videos you recommend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Is it mounted into a table or taken out of storage like mine when needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Does the sticking have anything to do with the detents at 45*? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 I assume this the bevel and not the table pivot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMayor Posted April 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 It is not the bevel, but the side to side. I just watched a video where they replaced the travel ring under the motor mechanism. Probably what I will do as it seems pretty easy to do. Thoughts?

Tpt life Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 I have seen many of these saws wear out without needing that to be done. That said, lemons do get released from time to time. How confident are you that you do not have dust built up? On the job, I am used to seeing these saws sprayed with compressed air from time to time.

This is always a good plan "A", then you can move on to things that may cost money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
