has anyone had chuck wobble problems like the lxfd01cw modle has?

I gave this Makita to my husband as a Christmas gift last year. To date he has built a yard cart, remodeled our garage with shelving, insulation, paneling and all; put up fences and repaired several things, and as he just said "he has stressed it" when doing much of this work both with drilling and driving and he has never had a problem with chuck wobble.

Mine wouldn't even spin consistantly so I sent it back-no it shouldn't wobble.

After using mine for over a month, I started having that issue as well. The front wheel seems to get stuck. I am planning to call Chicco for a fix, but in the meantime, a little WD40 got it working just fine.

Yes, it's the random movement that keeps it from burning circular swirls into the surface you are working on. You will probably find that once you apply a bit of pressure against the surface you are working on, the wobble will seem more natural. If you are uncomfortable using it on a car or similar finish right away, test using it on the side of an appliance where you won't see any damage if there is, in fact, a problem with it.

I don't have any problem with mine... It work great for me... One of the best pedal so far...

There is an adjustment to keep the saw tight on the track. I haven't had any issues with wobble. The safety trigger take some time to get use to. I don't regret buying this saw.

I had to install shims and other boards to make it less wobbly. I works now but out of he box it didn't. I almost sent it back but there isn't a lot of options in conversion rails. It ended up working but I got creative.

Sorry for the delay. I'm currently stationed overseas and free time is very limited.My Dewalt did not have that problem. I didn't use it every day, but whenever I used it, it was all-day. Never had any problems with the chuck or anything else for that matter.

Yes. I am trying to locate someway of having it replaced by Dewalt. Pain in the arse! It happens when you let go of the trigger suddenly and the brake kicks in and opens the chuck. Bad design.

I'm not sure what the "wobbly wheel" problem is, so apparently mine didn't have this issue.

Sounds like a bad bearing. The depth may cause an issue, but unlikely. Depending on material you are cutting, it may bog down with a 1 3/4 hp, but not wobble. I think adam brown hit it on the mark.. you got a dud. I cut 2" corian with it and it cuts like butter with no wobble what so ever.

it was very wobbly for me but I fixed it by taking a drill to it and making it really tight. Now it doesn't wobble at all.

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

My Dremel 670 Mini Saw attachment was rigged up as a hobby table saw and powered by my Dremel 400 XPR with zero wobbles. I would check the attachment to your power device and also the size of the collett attaching the drive shaft to the internal drive shaft of the Mini Saw. If the collett is not fully screwed into place on your driver power shaft then it may extend out far enough to prevent full attachment of the Mini Saw to your device. I hope this helps. Good luck!

When I first got the saw, yes there was a lot of side to side wobble. I pulled the plastic strips the saw runs on off and placed them as far apart as possible. The saw is now rock solid when it's on the rail. Another change I made was I cut out about 1" of the spring that holds the saw in the up position. This still holds the saw up but drastically reduces the wrist fatigue when using the saw. It makes it much easier to hold down when reaching across a 4' wide sheet. (Check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vqqcmC5UY5E) After making these changes, I have absolutely no regrets in purchasing this saw. I'm much happier with it than a homemade edge guide and a standard circular saw. Hope this helps.

No. At least on my unit. But judicious use of tape seems to help. The whole assembly is a little wobbly. You have to hold the chuck at slow speed until the bit is embedded. Quick change bits are not that stable. I enjoy it anyway. Tom

We have a queen bed but have not had any problem with wobble. We love them. I recommend you try them.
