DeWalt DW788 Slipping Blade Repair.

http://www.stevedgood.com/estore/estore.html
I was out in the shop tonight getting ready to do a repair on one of my DeWalt DW788 machines. It was exhibiting a very common and frustrating problem. The blade was slipping out of the lower clamp while cutting. It was especially bad with smaller blades. 

I had not thought about doing a video but I had my iPhone on me so I figured this might be useful information. I apologize for the shaky and portrait video but it was spur of the moment. The information is the important part.

The part I show you how to check and repair is not very expensive and it can save tons of frustration. I ordered the part from http://www.toolpartsdirect.com/  but you could order it from DeWalt also.

The part is item #36 on the schematic and costs $12.72. When I ordered mine it was showing out of stock for the Type 2 model but in stock for the type 1. They are the same. 

I show how to check and repair the problem. I also show the cause of the damage. This is good information for the Delta line of saws also.

You Are My Valentine Scroll Saw Pattern.

http://www.stevedgood.com/estore/estore.html
This Valentines pattern is not too large. You can cut it from a five inch wide board. You can probably find that in your scrap bin. After you make the project write a note on the back and give it to your Valentine as a wooden card.  

I am starting to get over my cold. I got flu and pneumonia shots today. That seems to have set me back a little bit. Hopefully I'll be back 100% soon but I'm still moving a little slow at the moment. Thanks for you patience.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
