One problem i had was to take it apart and then look for the problem not good. On the dewalt a smidgen of play here ends up a lot eslewhere.Best way it to locallize where the problem is while it's together.

Do not agree!! Where is the play? You take screws out, you put them back in.

There are no adjustments ... no adjustments... for play or no play.

Noise mostly (underlined) comes from bearings.

Geeze, you remove screws, a cover and see the insides.

Buy localizing the play in the parts ,you find the problem in the front of the machine or the back of the machine.I do this check without the machine running.If there's slop in the front it's been the blade holding mechanisms,but if it's the back i've found the nut completely off the hidden side of the connecting rod off the motor on a few machines (dewalts i've owned) type 1also repacking the bearings give new life and quiets the machine tremendously for years
