Has Mikita fixed the chuck wobble?

What chuck wobble? Never noticed any wobble. Far superior to my two previous Ryobi drills in power and quality. Wish it had the built-in levels that the Ryobi has.

There isn't any chuck wobble. Best drill I've ever owned and I've owned several brands through all these years. I've used this Makita a lot and have had no problems with it whatsoever.

Milwaukee if really good with their warranty; I've had to use it only once regarding the first generation M12 battery and charger. They provided a new battery, and charger, at no cost nearly 5yrs in. Not sure what may have happened with the chuck but, take it to a Milwaukee dealer or contact them directly regarding where to send it. True, the present day chuck / torque adjustment is not what it use to be, not even close. The chuck / torque adjustment may look the same but the torque adjustment is now plastic vs the original.

I've never had that issue either, and I do dips on it fairly often. I will say when doing dips, making sure it's on a hard surface is important to help reduce wobble.

I had mine come off when I first got it, I put a wood block under it and press the chuck down on it. Haven't had the problem agin. Hope this helps.

I've done various bread mixes and shredded veges, with no wobble at all. I am using the heavy glass bowl that came with it. Not sure if that helps. I LOVE my mixer!

Hi. I am not sure but the threads might be left handed so try turning the allen wrench in the opposite direction. You also might have to secure the chuck in a vise or have someone hold it with a large set of pliers while you loosen the allen bolt.

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.

No, it is fixed and this is the only issue with the cart. When locked in place it gives a leftward bias. We only walk with it so it is not a real issue and anyway your weight will mostly be on the handle thus slightly lifting the front wheel and negating the issue. You turn by directing the rear wheels anyway, meaning subtle inputs from your hands. It is beautifully balanced i should add!

I had the same problem, my spindle with a morse taper was fine but my chuck was siezed The new chuck fit great with one tap of the rubber mallot, and works great and has not come loose. I hope this helps.

detach the handle and tighten the screw underneath, that might eliminate some wobble

I use a nova chuck. It works great. You can contact me @ coreyk6767 @gmail.com

the chuck shaft is tapered; once it's put it, tap it lightly with a dead-blow mallet and it should be fine. I have had no trouble with it slipping.

I don't notice any wobble while cutting. I don't regret buying this saw at all. I haven't used my old circular saw since this one arrived. I love it.

The keyless chuck is great. I haven't experienced slip even under load...it's quite amazing, really

We had the same problem with this one. Took it in to the local DeWalt dealer 6 months ago who replaced the chuck with a different style one. Haven't had any problems with it since.

Charlie - I am having the exact same problem with my brand new Makita UC3530A. Unfortunately, I found that many others were encountering similar problems with the saw not channeling the oil to the chain only after I had already purchased mine. I called Makita corporate customer service about the problem, and they suggested that I take it to a Makita service center. I am planning to take it to the Makita service center in Houston next week. The Makita rep at corporate HQ said that I evidently have a defective unit. I don't think so. I think this is a basic design defect with this saw because so many others are having a similar problem. I will see what the Makita service center folks have to say, and if I am not satisfied that this is a fixable problem I am going to return it to Amazon and buy something else. I regret that I might have to do so because the saw cut beautifully until I unknowingly dulled the chain to such an extent that it no longer cuts at all. The reason the blade dulled so quickly, of course, was that it was getting no oil to the chain, but I didn't realize that until the damage was already done. I hope this is of some help even though it certainly isn't a solution.
