amazingkevin Posted February 18, 2015 Report Posted February 18, 2015 Very nice professional repair! I have two chop saws both the same brand.The one thats in the same shape as yours i found ,works great but the handle is kaput. Now that i see how it's fastened maybe i'll attempt to repair it. gator 1 Quote
