JR3000v blade swivels

[Theron]

Any idea on what parts are needed to stop the blade from swiveling during cutting? I bought the saw used and the shoe already had cut marks in it. The problem has only gotten worse. Thanks for any help.

Hi Theron,
If you have lateral movement of the shaft its caused by a worn 214167-0 Plane Bearing 12.7 and in some cases along with a worn slider.Chances are you have the old style slider and will need to upgrade to the 163392-9 New style Slider (Updated Version)You will also need to get new blade clamp. But don't order anything until you call ereplacement parts and talk to them.Reason is the Makita JR3000V had all sorts of engineering changes and you can really get into a mess if you don't have help ordering.Hope this helps.Good luck.
