I've just finished setting up my shiny new D24000, and I was impressed until it comes to tightening the blade. After attempting to cut the first piece of 25mm limestone, the blade started slipping after an inch or two of cut. I'm usually known for over tightening things, so I would be surprised if it was down to initial lack of tightening torque. No matter how hard I tighten the nut now, the supplied DeWalt blade slips, even when pulling the blade with my fingers. The paint has come off the blade in a circle matching where the flange touches the blade. Anyone else had this? I spoke to DeWalts repairers, and they tell me they haven't come across it before. I wonder if the large alignment washer in the middle of the blade is marginally too thick? I don't want to send the machine away to be repaired if this is user error of some kind.
Thanks
