OCtoolguy Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I have a DW also, Is there a problem with the blade clamps? Mine seem to be ok but it would be nice to know ahead of a failure. Should I be using anti-seize? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I have a DW also, Is there a problem with the blade clamps? Mine seem to be ok but it would be nice to know ahead of a failure. Should I be using anti-seize? R the only time that I had a problem with the blade clamps is when i used an added, larger piece to help cinch down the key. I will NEVER use one of those again on my saw..I now sand each new blade ends before I install it in the clamps..I have had my present clamps for several years.now and no problems.. I have never used anti-seize but i am sure it is a good idea as so many are recommending it. Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks Dick. I did just as you warned so I will have to be very careful when tightening. I cut out some add-on knobs from cherry wood and epoxied them to the stock knobs. I'm going to get some anti-seize just to be on the safe side. It's hell to be a newbie and have to learn all this stuff. Ray Edited April 28, 2015 by octoolguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
