bandaideman Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I was sawing away on 3D chess piece and the tension lever kept letting go about every 5-10 strokes. this got old fast. I think I have seen it discussed here or somewhere on how to fix that. It did happen before but I did something and it stopped. However I do not remember how or what I did. Other than getting younger to remember things you do what suggestions to folks have. I did clean the little lever and was done for the day since things were going south with the wood work any way. I will try again next week end. Man I am ready to retire but got to wait a little longer. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multifasited Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 some thing is either loose ,or the alignment of the clamp is off ! Buzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Finn Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 While cutting thicker material the feed rate drops off a LOT. Are you feeding the wood into the saw too fast? That may cause your problem. Try slowing way down. Buzz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 Also clean your blades , there is a film of oil on them when there shipped , this also helps from getting loose .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandaideman Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Thanks for the advise, the feed sure could have been too fast I will slow down. i do tend to be pushing a little fast. I will check the alignment and check the blades. Sorry work got in the way this week so could not check the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
