Good morning, I am brand new to this forum and I am hoping someone can shed some light on my problem with my dewalt type 2. I have had the saw (purchased new) for about 8 months and just yesterday this problem started. I have been reading the posts regarding knocking problems on the 788 but none seem to address the problem I am experiencing.
The problem is that the saw cuts perfectly with no knocking when I am cutting cross grain. As soon as a start a cut with the grain the saw starts to knock terribly. I have tried adjusting blade tension from 3 to max with no success.
I have checked blade alignment and the blade is 90 degrees to the cut.
Different types and thickness's of wood do not seem to make any difference.
I have been using #3 and #5 FD blades, in wood thickness's between 1/4 and 1/2 inch.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading and
have a great day.
Bill
