DWSUDEKUM Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Kevin that looks substantial. How is the vibration at speed. Will it take both pinned and straight blades? I have never used a C arm before or seen one in action so i am understandable curious. DW amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you don't need to move that beast too often Kevin!!!!!. Shouldn't think you'll have a serious vibration problem with it, (apart from shaking the house). Waiting patiently to see some of your work done on it. . Rob Roy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never used a C arm before or seen one in action so i am understandable curious. DW DW,Zip on the vibration ,and a penny ,with Teresa was scrolled in script with this machine! I glued the penny on some thin wood and went to town on it!Ugh, now your making me get on the floor to see if it takes pinned blades ,hang on, I went thru great pains to get down and try to get a clear picture for you in a crampt up room but i tried.Yes it will take pinned blades. The arms in the back have giant roller bearings that you would see on a car axle.incredibly Hugh.I one my first one added Zerk grease fittings so i could pump grease into them one time to make them last a life time.But i burnt out the circuit board first.Very quiet saw too!

Fab4 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Hi Kevin: I have the same saw but mine is the professional model You have the contractor series Going on 30 years with this saw. Bought it brand new way back when. After the 2 year warranty was up, i had to change the circuit board also It's still humming along just fine now...........knock on wood I have it set up on a base with wheels just like all my other big tools so I never need to pick it up. I'm not sure what the difference is between yours and mine because they look identical Fab4 Edited December 29, 2014 by Fab4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab4 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 My guess is your not having to deal with allen wrenches to change blades.This was a $700 .saw way back when. Kevin: I still use the long allen wrench and the L shaped pin to tighten the bottom blade when I put a new blade in. I don't use an allen wrench for the top blade holder. Been doing it for so long now it's just second nature. Quick and easy to do. You're right on with the price. Looking back now it was a great investment. No regrets whatsoever. My first saw was a Dremel with a 13" throat with a sander on the side and uses 3" pinned blades. Believe it or not I still have that one too and still use it on certain occasions Just push down on the top blade holder. insert blade and it's ready to go. Tension is set with a heavy spring and you never have to adjust it because there is no adjustment for the tension on this saw. The table adjusts up and down, tilts left and right. Weighs about 6 lbs. I did have to replace a few plastic parts on this one. Great for 1/4" stock. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amazingkevin Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Guess i'll have to google it to find out the differences ,thanks.I hated to throw away my first one but no money to fix it.Thanks Fab 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tdub4ever Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 That's a beast of a saw! I have a Craftsman 24" that weighs 95lbs. I can't lug it around anymore by myself. But, I can take a blade from my "GOOD" saw that cuts to the right and put it in the Craftsman and it cuts straight as an arrow. I sure wish it was multi speed, it would be my go to saw. amazingkevin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
