Woe is me,
I just received my "new" dw788, purchased on ebay. It is the type 1 and has not been used, but has been unpacked and assembled for ? time. It was not shipped in it's original box and was packed with the dewalt table. Some how, at some time, the top rocker arm assembly that the blade chuck and thumb screw attach to, were bent. Responsibility is being debated (ups, seller).
First of all, I am feeling like I was unwise (maybe stupid would be better) to buy an item like this on line, but I did so I just need to do what I need to do.
I have two questions hopefully you can help me with:
1. Do you think it would be possible to carefully bend these parts back in a padded vise. I figure, I'm not out anything to try and if it doesn't work, get the parts ordered.
2. The little air hose for the dust blowing also popped off. I am wondering if heating it with a hair dryer, might help me get it back on. It is pretty tight.
Thanks for any suggestions to help. But don't beat me up too bad for the way I bought it. I already am dissappointed to not be able to get to sawing right away.
