Makita chop saw problem solved!

Tom Norton

>I started noticing a lot of run out on my 10" Makita saw a few weeks a go. Even though I had rebuilt it last Summer with all new bearings. So I disassemle it and decide to just try another blade on it. Well when I am installing the inner and out flange I see daylight between the inner flange and the blade! I inspect the flange and it has a few good size burrs. I talk to the tool shop repair guy and he says this is a frequent problem and to just hone the flanges down. I did replace one bearing because the time it was "out" messed up that bearing. But it runs like new!
