Any problems with the arbor hole being round with no flats like the washer has? Anything coming loose?

Short answer: No Long answer: Most saws don't have any flats on the washer or the shaft and I don't know of any blades that have flats either and since the nut is reverse thread, it tends to tighten anyways. Bottom line is that it is not a problem.

I am not sure I understand the question. The guide acts and looks like a big fat washer. It sets between the blade and the arbor bolt head. You tighten the bolt down with the same amount of torque you normally would. There should not be anything coming loose.

I have two of these installed on my Craftsman and I have not had any problem with it spinning on the shaft. I wouldn't expect that to be an issue as the nut gets tighter with use.

My arbor has no flats. Absolutely no problem with it loosening. The laser lays just outside the saw cut. Very slick attachment, works very well.

It is round with no flats, like some other people I had to take a round file and run it around the inside, as it was a little rough and didn't fit right on

No problems. I installed it on my old 9" Craftsman radial arm saw. Works great, better than sliced cheese. :)

I don't recall having that much detail in my instructions (would have been nice). I just used the lock washers supplied and common sense when I tightened mine up. Sorry DB, that's all I got. I really do like the mine! Good luck man.

No. The screws that are used on the paddles are torx with a big head 1/4 20 thread. I drilled the center of mine out and then used a new 1/4 20 bolt through the drilled out old screw. That way I still had the washer surface and the bushing to support the paddle. It will make more sense when you look at it.

Yes. The screw loosens when swiveled. We tried the locking washer on top and underneath the flat washer. It still loosens but can be easily tightened by hand.

There is a round hand crank just under the seat at the front - turn it clockwise (looking at the machine) - it is probably loose! This happens to mine & I have to tighten it up daily.

Not to worry...lay blade on a flat surface and place washer ring over the center hole of the blade...then use firm finger pressure to press the washer into the hole of the blade. Jiggle it a bit if you have to, but it usually just presses right into the hole and stays there while you fit the blade onto the grinder. Secure the blade by tightening the arbor nut that comes with the grinder and you're in business. Put the washer in a safe place afterwards or tape it to the blade so it doesn't get misplaced. Pretty straightforward. No secret tricks. Good luck!

I had a similar issue. I ended up drilling the hole a little larger and used a butterfly/toggle bolt. It pulled up tight and has been working well for about 6 months.

I have not had such a problem. Be certain that one handle is fully open, the other fully closed and the rubber washers fully seated. Good luck!

Be careful to Disconnect Power before working on this GreenWorks Machine. Make sure the Tines have the cutting edge pointed down when the machine moves forward. The tines lock together on each side when assembled correctly. Don't forget to place the fiber washer between the tines on each side. The washers should be soaked with oil to prevent rust and corrosion. The safety pins that keep the tines on the Axel should be very tight so they don't fall out as the machine is being used. Squeeze the safety pins with large pliers to make them tighter before mounting them. Thats it Regards, Clem

I'll see if I can't figure out which of my washers came from this insert, but here's a little advice: It sounds like you're asking so you can determine where to cut the hole for the blade... You'll get a better result with zero-clearance if you don't cut the hole, but rather make the insert, and then raise the blade through the insert itself. This will make the hole perfectly sized and positioned, with no measuring involved. See here: http://youtu.be/lQiiU5W2vHk?t=7m15s

Yes. Not trying to insult your intelligence but make sure the crush washer is installed properly before you do.I just took a screwdriver and inserted it through the larger side holes and cranked it tighter, little by little, until the small holes were at the 12 o'clock. When I turned it, I would stop, back it off a little and tighten it again. I've put plenty of rounds through it since its been on with zero issues.

No, they shouldn't be loose at all. The ones on mine fit snug, and I've taken it apart and rebuilt it several times. Check the orientation of the nuts and make sure you're putting them on correctly, with the "larger end" screwing onto the screw. Also, the washers prevent the bolts from being loose, make sure you are using those on every bolt. There may be a little movement after you screw them in, when you use a try to turn either side without a brace on the opposite side.

you'd have to use something to shim it with, like a washer. I'd look for another solution.

The door jig worker really well for me, so you must be having an issue that I did not encounter. The holes on my jig are spaced at 1/4" intervals (assuming we're referring to the same holes).

The one I received does have a round hole and it has locking spacers that fit over the blade to lock it in place on the motor shaft.

wont hurt a thing . is it bothers you loosen the comp and retighten holding the washer to center it up. make sure tapered end is pointing toward the rear of the rifle.

I do not have this issue and my saw makes rock solid square cuts every time. Are you talking about side to side or up and down play? If neither I assume you are talking about out of round play. If it is out of round play, look at the two washers that sandwich the blade tight on the motor shaft. If each washers' thickness is not consistent that could cause blade travel to be out of round. The washers need to be replaced if they are not consistent. If it's up and down or side to side play most likely there is a bearing or bushing problem and would require repair work on the saw.
