I noticed the other day that the power cord on my saw is a little damaged. I don't want to risk using it like this, but the saw is still in good shape so i don't want to throw it away. Is there a way to replace the power cord on the saw?

SKIL 4235 Jigsaw: Replacement part for holding blade onto saw

Fri, 13 Dec 2024 20:59:10 -0700

My saw no longer holds blades tightly. The "key" just keeps turning in the "collar". The threads on either the key or inside the collar must be worn or damaged. Can I remove and replace the "collar" device? Removal instructions would be helpful.

Milwaukee Circular Saw: How do I replace the spindle gear on Milwaukee cordless circular saw?

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 09:44:29 -0700

I was given a Milwaukee 18V cordless circular saw, Model 6310-20, Serial 057A----.
I took the saw apart and found a number of broken teeth on the spindle gear. The gear at the end of the armature shaft is in good condition.
The Milwaukee parts diagram shows that the gear and spindle shaft are separate parts.
There is no circlip holding the gear on to the spindle shaft or woodruff key keying the gear to the shaft.
Is the old gear just pressed off of the spindle shaft and the new gear pressed on?

Craftsman 315.108220: How to lock the blade shaft on a Craftsman 315.108220 circular saw?

Fri, 04 Apr 2025 09:42:18 -0700

Does anyone know whether there is a “brake” on the driven saw blade shaft of this model so you can unscrew the blade bolt? If not can you suggest how I can lock the shaft and remove the blade bolt? The blade is loose and freely rotates on the shaft but it is impossible to remove the blade bolt because the blade shaft and the armature turn. I seek suggestions how I can lock the shaft and thus remove the blade bolt. Because the saw blade can not be removed, I can’t fully disassemble the saw and thus gain access to the gear case where I could lock the shaft..

Table Saw: Finding a replacement rip fence?

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 12:18:54 -0700

TL;DR: Ripped some wood, blade contacted the rip fence because the cut was thin enough that I had to remove the blade guard. At least I caught it in time but this scored it pretty good.

I did a chat support with Vevor, and they said they would send me an email to buy the part... It's been a pain. They do not have a site I can just pay for it and get a replacement.

Does anyone know an alternative source for the part in the meantime while I try and get them to work with me? Better yet, a part number.

delta 40-650 Series 1 Scroll Saw: Saw will not turn on. Not sure what to check and need advice

Sat, 13 Dec 2025 18:34:38 -0700

My Delta 40-650 won't work. The saw worked well for a while, though it had a delayed start (apparently this is a feature so you have time to get your hands back to the workpiece). You hit the start switch and then it takes a second or two to start up.

Now, though, it does nothing. It has been a few months since I checked it (working on a project and haven't been able to mess with it), but iirc, it buzzed and did not move. I think it might be the capacitor, but idk.

I need to know what to look for and test because I don't know what symptoms to look for. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
