I have tried the fix recommended by Dewalt to solve the knocking problem with my scrollsaw and it didn't work. Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this annoying noise?

Re: Dewalt Knock
Stewart;
How old is your saw and how many hours (approx) use per week.
I had a DeWalt for over 3 years and I did the recommended knocking fixes a few times and finally it wouldn't fix it anymore. The saw was totally wore out and was shaking and sounding like a threshing machine so I upgraded to an industrial quality saw .
Don't get me wrong, DeWalt is a pretty good hobby quality saw but I had thousands of hours on mine and it simply wore out . When I replaced it, I made sure to get one that had a combination of sealed ball bearings and oil cup construction on all points of potential wear.
I am just curious to know if yours is a high use saw like mine was. ???

Re: Dewalt Knock
Hhmmm.....
That dosn't sound good. I know the knocking has been going on from the first DeWalts to the most recent ones in a large majority of them. I'm surprised DeWalt has not corrected that problem over the years.
200 hours is almost a new saw regardless of the length of time you've owned it. I wish I could help but if the suggested 'fixes' don't help, I don't know what else to suggest except contact DeWalt and be very vocal about your dissatisfaction with the product. Who knows... they may send you a new one. It's happened before.
The squeaky wheel is the one that gets the grease :
Good luck.

by RolfI don't know how big this piece is normally, but to see this at this scale is absolutely stunning. I saw it on facebook and didn't realize that he is the one that we contributed blades to. It is hard enough to cut and fit Intarsia pieces when it is done by an individual having multiple people cut pieces...
