Im having problems with my saw. The shaft is loose and the blades wont hold. Does anyone know what the problem is and which parts I would need?

Hi sxdgsnrocknroll,

I would suspect that the bearing sleeve is the part causing the shaft wobble. It is item #32 on the parts diagram. To solve the blade holder issue you should just need a new blade clamp kit. It is item #30 on the parts diagram.

The Bearing Sleeve is part #450865-00

The Blade Clamp Kit is part #679868-00

These parts are available from eReplacementParts.com : Power Tool Parts and Tool Repair

Good luck with your repair!

i have just ordered parts for that saw today. i would like to warn you that the gear kit in my saw somehow stripped out and now skips. the blade barely moved and became completely useless within a month of usage. After i stripped apart the saw, i found that the gear was stripped out over 3/4 of the gear. It left grounded up shavings in the grease as well. I'm not sure if this saw was abused prior my use but i found this to be a problem and hope that this is not a common problem with this type of saw. During my internet surveiling for the proper part to replace my bad gear, i noticed that the trigger switch is obselete and not available so i hope that i never run into a bad switch. well i hope you fix your saw and i hope that the new gear i just ordered is the correct one and will fix the problem. Any other suggestions will be definately considered and thanks for reading.
this is ocd-opie from revamped tools, later!

Regarding the blades not holding, I find that my blade clamp gets gunked up with grease and sawdust often. I just spray WD40 into it while working the yellow release lever to clean all the junk out.
