Has anyone else had their wheels come apart?

My 22 year old Dewalt miter saw needed a new switch assembly and replaced cord at same time looks and works like new, thx.

I checked manual and saw the circuit breaker mentioned, unfortunately mine doesn’t show one for it. I will try some of the other things and see what I can manage even though some of the things might be above my pay grade

Mine stopped while making cuts. I blew out all the dust and checked the brushes and seems ok. Anyone have any suggestions?

My last comment on this. Both manual and powered screw drivers have their place. I use manual when I physically can and called for and powered when necessary or when physically unable to use manual.

Well I pulled the trigger literally and figuratively and bought one 2.4 lbs saw one that was .1 less but no batteries or charger. This one came with gun, 2 batteries, charger and traveling case. Bought it at Northern Tool & Equipment. Thanks everyone that replied. 37FFD84A-968F-4824-8136-102641F...

Thx I’m going to check these out this week and I’ll let you know what I decide.

Yes but due to torn bicep surgery that didn’t help the weight still becomes a problem. Rotator cuff surgery went well I guess 1 out of two isn’t that bad

Manually loaded battery powered screw gun or drill/ driver. I currently use Ryobi 18v lithium or Bosch 14v. Thanks JPG for your helpful reply and I still use hand held tools but can only keep my arms up for so long that power tools help a lot.

Due to some medical conditions I’m looking to get a battery powered screw gun that is light weight but still a good tool. I am no longer able to hold my two current ones up when working shoulder high and higher for any amount of time.
