DW788 SQUEAKING

[amazingkevin]

I just noticed a squeek squeek noise. I was hopeing that it just needed oil or grease .OPlease no down time. Ends up it was a broken bolt on the top arms in the front.The bolt broke on the second thread. Lowes had a m4 metriic bolt and i got one with the shalf extra long so it breaking on the threads again is not going to happen.I double nutted it.Quick fix. Just glad i did'nt have to open up the machine as it's like working on a watch.Look for the new shiny bolt thats the one that broke.

Well, I consider that a blessing. And good work of a Handy Man.

I don't mind digging in the dew 788 but it takes so long to take apart and put together you really need to pack a lunch when doing so. I got off easy this time. I don't wish taking one apart on anyone.They have been a blessing to me . First time i turned one one i was waiting for it to start.but it was already running as silent as a sleeping kitten and no vibration .i was and still am amazed  at them

Good fix. I am glad it was so simple.  I have been in the guts of my 788 before so I know that is no fun. A word of advise that was given to me.  Whenever I do open I grease all the bearings and pivot points with synthnetic grease.  It really seems to help with noise and vibrations.

yes Scott the grease is the best thing ever .Should they use this from the factory i believe the saw as unlimited life ,I greased every bearing but two and the machine WAS sloppy. To this day it is holding its own and not gotten any worse, that is amazing!!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Here I thought that it was a saw problem being discussed; not a seamy one.
