Thanks for watching!

Great video, change the blade, you are using a rip cutting disc when the correct disc is a cross cuuting one. Greetings from Maracabo !

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

Thanks for the advice!

Nice find! I have sliding miter saw that a friend borrowed, now it sounds really bad! It's really grumble and noisy when you pull the trigger. He says it did that during a cut and doesn't want to cut good after that... Any ideas where to start looking? Thank you kindly!

[@DuctTapeMechanic]

I would look at the brushes and the motor bearings

[@splash5974]
