You've got several table saw stand options or additional tools that may come with them, too. We carry two popular table saw sizes, the 10-inch blade and the 8-1/4-inch blade, by this brand. DEWALT table saws are an excellent complement to your tool box or woodworking workshop. I'd also be sure to send a copy of the letter, attachments, and data to the CPSC.DEWALT is a trusted source of many power tools, including saws. If you have the time, you might also do some testing to quantify the problem - maybe use a torque wrench to tighten the nut to known, repeatable setting, and then see how many times you have to start and stop the saw before the nut becomes loose.
If I were in your shoes, I'd write to Dewalt explaining the problem, and I'd attach copies of the reports linked above as well as any others you may have found as evidence that there's a problem. I don't think it matters that you're not the original owner - a table saw that's known to have a problem with the blade coming off in operation is downright dangerous, and certainly defective. So to answer the title question, it sounds like the problem is known to at least some users, but not admitted to by Dewalt. Perhaps some of these saws have bad bearings in either the arbor assembly or the motor?Ī review on Amazon admits that the blade only comes off "sometimes."Īt least seven different users commented on the suggested duplicate to say that they've had the same problem with the same saw. To me, that suggests that at least in some cases the saw may stop spinning quickly, which would explain the arbor nut coming loose.
Someone replying to that message also says that their arbor nut becomes loose after a while, and suggests retightening it periodically.Īnother user on the same page thinks it's strange that Dewalt doesn't advertise the saw's braking feature. One user reported the blade coming off entirely while the saw was running, resulting in damage to the saw. Here are a couple examples that I found in just a minute or two: As you've probably found during your own search, you're not the only one to report a problem with the arbor nut on this saw.
