Dewalt RAS Adjusting?

You can get this info here:

Bill,

I have an 11 page article written by Roger Hill on the DeWalt. This article used to reside over on Badger Pond and a friend snatched it away before that forum went Tango Uniform.

I really don't think it'll get you fixed but I can guarantee that it will put you in the right direction. The file looks to be around 50KB so it's not too big.

Ping me on the back channel if you'd like me to slip a copy of it in a cyber envelope and post it with the morning mail.

I think most of the articles from the Pond are now at WoodCentral (

Did you ever post on the Pond? I don't remember you (I think I have all of your noms de web). Or were you just saying you got it from there?

Nope.

There is a book called "fine tuning your Radial Arm Saw." It is quite good, but out of print. You can probably find it at the library.

There are 3 adjustment screws on the back of the motor/yoke assembly used for this adjustment. The Mr. Sawdust book has complete details for tune-ups.

Thanks for all of the help. Now I have the info and resources to make this saw purrrrrrrr :)

"Fine Tuning Your Radial Arm Saw" by Jon Eakes is out of print, but still available as an Acrobat file from the author's web site,

As Rumpty suggested, "How To Master The Radial Saw" by Wally Kunkel has tune-up procedures for the DeWalt, plans for an FLAT, rigid table, and everything you need to know about using the saw for any kind of cut.

I had a SCMS and a JET cabinet saw before I inherited my Dad's DeWalt

Larry, I could have not said that better myself!
