Repairing a Makita DSP600 Plunge Saw that is stiff and sticking.

Plunge saws can, over time, become stiff and not plunge or retract the blade correctly.
This can result in a dangerous situation if the blade does not fully retract again.
Normally, they can become stiff from general wear and tear, but if the locking bolt comes loose, this will cause more wear and lead to it stiffening uo faster.
This js a risky repair, as the pin will be stiff, and if the bolt had gouged the pin, it will be even more difficult to remove.
One mistake and the aluminium house can snap.
Luckily, this one came out easily. If not, the motor will need to be stipped down and heat applied to the aluminium.

Nice work yet again. Your approach to repair is admirable. The amount of people that are going to attempt what you make look easy is garn leave a lot of tools in pieces for a long time. With the owners saying. "Dean made it look easy." (Not this one...) That is pure skill, thanks for sharing your insights and brilliant attitude 🇦🇺🤠👌

Not for the faint of heart - throws Screws everywhere and still finishes in less than 20 minutes. Legend.

[@woshinwb]

Its edited and you risk breaking the housing without the exact suppport on the back of the press. Also you need a press to get it out. Not easy

[@EndoliteM4trix]

@@woshinwb what a profoundly useless comment. Who knew videos on the internet were edited? I also didn’t say anything about the press. Reevaluate yourself my friend.

Hello Dean Doerthy, greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I wanted you to know that I love your videos, they are very good and I also learn a lot since I think that, just like you, I love power tools. greetings and blessings !!

You have to align the base to the saw.

Nicely done Dean

Hi great video what do you use to clean inside the pin housing many thanks

[@ashleybignell2366]

Had this same problem on the sp6000 after 18 months. once the pin was changed it hasn't let me down in over 5 years. & that tool gets proper abused.

2:30 I think I heard that screw hit the side of my house in NZ!

@dean Hey Dean, If you haven’t got a press what’s the diy version of getting the pin out at home?

[@deandohertygreaser]

A second set of hands to hold the saw steady. Balance it in a metal tube over the pin housing. And use a blow torch, punch and hammer to beat it out. Or if you have a big enough vice you could use the vice as a press

[@jimmoore8943]

What was the make of that knife/ scraper I see in one of your videos thanks jim

[@deandohertygreaser]

[@jimmoore8943]

Yep, clean your tools after use, won't make you less manly...

[@benjaminhunt283]

I know so many people with this problem. Does not happen to Orher saws, Festool, Mafell, Milwaukee. This should be a product recall. Ridiculous that this type of saw should do this.
