Wet saw problems

Here you go..... a nice offset to the right and scraping against the cover!

Should be a spacer in there mate............

Hi Dave, Where should the spacer be? The blade needs to be bought to the left so the only place I can think a spacer could go is by undoing the unit, removing the motor putting washer between the mounting face of the motor and the plastic to pull the spindle deeper into the unit?

On some units the spacer goes on before the blade.. have you fully checked the blade installation notes....

 

[zzr-matt]

All seems to be correct...

Pass..maybe some of the members on here who own one of those machines will help on this one....

Blade is fitted correctly

Well it seems like there are some dodgy batches of these units out there, I managed to fine some new stock in the local B+Q over the weekend and they were aligned correctly!

Cuts are far better and quicker than the wickes unit with no chipping etc. Just seems to be taking me an age to get the room finished!

First job always takes much longer than you think. DOn't worry, the more you do, the quicker it gets.

think you may have discovered that b&Q, and other cheap jobbies aren't always what they're cut out (sorry for pun) to be. your tools are the most important part of the job, good ones, in good condition make it soooo much easier. good luck with your bathroom.
