We have one at my work we use and we rent them, so I bought one and haven't had any problems at all.

the question should be answered by dewalt. has the problem with the blade holder shaft breaking off been addressed and corrected by dewalt?

Although I haven't used the tool a great deal I haven't experienced any problem like this to date. However, I always try to take care of my tools and not abuse them or force them to do things they aren't designed for. This problem sounds like a case of the users overextending the limits of the tool.

Not as far as i know, If your cutting steel i dont think its strong enough, on wood it might hold up ok.

It's a great saw, but a delicate piece of machinery. .that happened to mine, I sent it back to get repaired. They fixed it.

We haven't had to replace the blades, however when we did have a problem with the unit, we were able to get a replacement from the same vendor. Fast service. They answered our questions quickly via email and were most helpful. I am sure that they can either get parts or help you get a replacement. Be aware though that there wouldn't be any warranty so you would be better off, as we were, by getting the replacement. They can send an entire new unit for a special price, probably cheaper than a part would be.

Amazon has the best price anyway and it clearly states which model to replace it with. I just replaced my blades with amazon and it came as one piece.

I'm on my second one, the first died after 5 years of moderate use. No blade cracking problems for me, with either machine.

I bought a blade and it cracked after a few months. I just put my food processor away in the garage. Another blade doesn't seem worth it, but hand chopping herbs is very time consuming.

Sorry, I don't check my email as often as I should! Yup, you don't have to mess around with setting a new blade inside or anything like that. The whole clipper piece that snaps off is replaced. So as long as nothing is broken on the main battery operated part, you should be fine :)

It's my understanding that ESEE has an unconditional lifetime warranty on the blade. You should be able to verify that by visiting their site.

I've never had that problem (over 3 years since I purchased it), although my blades did break, and needed replacing, after about a year.

My fiancee just had one of the knives break at the shank too. it scared the #$% out of her. We loved these knives. it was the 7-in. Edgy® Santoku Knife that broke. Edit: the support number is:furi support415 567 94408775679440

I love those knives and keep them even when they break, wether because I dropped them or use them much for any reason cause I can use them for spare parts... if you didn't lose the part you can fix it youself. I often call these people to report fails too, hopefully they'll improve it... it's a great knive... not perfect though.

If it breaks, you won't be needing a replacement.The same goes for the blade braking.....

Good Day! I haven't replaced the blades, but try ULINE as they have many supplies or may lead you to the right vendor. Good Luck! ~V~

same exact thing happened to me! where the screw mount meets the shaft seperated and when removed you can see where the "glue" had shattered and failed.ive tried to contact them but nothing in return. let me know if you had any better luck.

NO! I was having trouble with my saw while trimming some windows. I found that the left side fence was bowed. Seemed like it was milled wrong because it wasn't bent or damaged. Anyway, I contacted Hitachi with pictures of the fences and a straight edge going across them and they told me that it wasn't a warranty issue. I ended up spending the extra ~$20 for a new fence and now the issue is fixed. I'll have to think very hard if I would buy another Hitachi product. -

I never heard of anyone cleaning the blade. As far as I'm concerned, when the blade wears out, you replace it.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.
