trackman Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Have been having trouble with the bottom blade clamp not holding the blade. Did all the normal things but no help. Noticed the bottom clamp assembly moving about 1/8" up and down. The bearings on the top bolts (pencil pointing to) had worn out. This caused a lot of "jerking" which would make the blade come out of the clamp. Syco said the new assembly has been made stronger and shouldn't have this trouble again. The saw runs and sounds like new again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhudson Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Doesn't it feel swell when you fix something on your own? Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
