Those look great. I like the finish.
-
That looks great. I will download that also. I like the religious portraits.
-
That came out great Merlin. Nice frame to.
-
I really like the welcome one. Looks great as do the others.
-
Randy, I tried bypassing the switch but still didn't work. It's in the shop now at the DeWalt repair center.
-
Paul, I'm looking at them online. The cheapest one so far is about $800.00. I'm debating weather to look at a used one of buy new.
-
Well everyone, I took my saw to the repair center and they offered a complete fix on anything that is wrong for $259.00.They can't go over that amount so if it's the motor which cost 282.00, then I'm getting a deal, plus they go through the whole saw and tune it up and replace anything that needs replacing. The only thing is it will take about 4 weeks they said. Well I told them to fix it and I think I will look for another saw for a spare. I'm thinking maybe an Excalibur 20 inch. Any suggestions out there.
-
I think I will do the same thing if they offer it where I am. Its a DeWalt service center so I hope they will .
-
nice job cutting that one. Is that your own pattern.
-
Scrappile, I was wondering the same thing. The saw is only 3 years old but I don't want to put a lot of money into it. Hopefully all I need is new brushes. We'll see tomorrow when I bring it in.
-
Well just got off the phone with Dan and we went through a couple of things with the switch to try out but that didn't work either so I guess I have no choice but to take it in to the repair center. Just want to thank Dan again for running me through the switch problem. I'll keep you all posted when I find out what the problem is. Thanks again to all that gave me ideas to try.
-
Well I just took my saw apart again but this time I took all the covers off. I checked everything and there's nothing broken or disconnected. The motor moves freely. Still no power to the unit. I hope it's just a switch. I blew out the switch but I can't really take it apart without breaking the plastic.
-
Well I still can't figure out what's going on with my saw. It's only 3 years old and I never had a problem with it before. Maybe I'm using it to much. LOL. Well I guess I have no choice now but to have it checked out.
-
dgman, It's not blowing fuses. I took the switch apart and blew it out. Still not working. Plugged it into different outlets with no luck. Hope it's not the motor. I'll have to take it in to the DeWalt repair center Tuesday and see what's going on. I might just upgrade to an excalibur 21 inch. The lowest price I've seen so far was $899.00 with stand and foot pedal and free shipping.
-
Well all I can say is you been a busy man. They look great. Are you stack cutting those and are those names made out of plywood glues together. They look pretty thick.
-
Dick, I did try that on a different outlet and it still didn't go on. I think today I will dig into it a little more and see if I can find something, if not then I'll have to take it in to the repair center. Thanks to all you guys for all your help.
-
Just checked the new fuse I put in and it's not blown, so there's something else going on here. I'll take it in the the De Walt repair center Tuesday. If it's to much to fix then I might just upgrade to an Excalibur.
-
Just checked the new fuse I put in and it's not blown so something else is going on.
-
Kevin, I wasn't going to fast. I was using a #7 blade. I tried backing up to get into a corner, that's when it jammed and stopped. I checked the fuse and it was blown. I put two new one's in but it wouldn't go on so I think it's more than the fuse.
-
Nice Gordie. I'll have to check that pattern out on Stevens dvd.
-
dgman, I took the cover off where the switch is and I didn't see any dust in there. Should I disconnect the wires that are there and then try to clean it better.
-
Yea Jim, I was trying to cut two 1/2 inch pieces of red oak. My mistake. I'll cut one at a time now. I'll take it in Tuesday and see what they say. If it's to much to repair I might just upgrade to an Excalibur.
-
Kevin, you did a great job on that. What's a 1/4 inch. I can't noticed it from here. LOL. Just zip it through the table saw and it's fixed.
-
You did a great job on that gator.
-
dgman, I changed the fuse but it doesn't work. Not sure what the problem is now.
