Blade on mine where the ball detent glides is leaving deep gouge mark on blade. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes, but I don't think it's a problem. It's just part of the design to keep the blade closed.

I'm seeing the same thing so it appears to be normal behavior. Here's that area from my knife, 2 months after moderate use: http://i.imgur.com/6YeplWF.jpg It looks worse than it is; if you run a point across the "gouge" it really isn't that deep.

That would happen of the bade is too tight. A little bit of loosening up and a spot of oil does the job but I find that the initial groove does not hinder the knife opening later. This is because it is not an assisted opening and kept quite tight.

Make sure the drive socket is installed properly. But it sounds like you need a new blade assembly. Before you buy a new one, make sure it"s attached tightly to the plastic container.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

I don't have that problem. I suspect that the blade cover (housing) is not properly inserted into machine. The gap between blade and blade cover is pretty small such that only minimal debris is collected. That has been my experience.

I have used this saw a lot with no problems. When I first bought it the blades would fall out occasionally. Now, I firmly push the blade into the slot before closing the blade release lever - no problems. Also be sure you have the correct blade type for this saw. If you do both of those and the problem continues, call DeWalt or bring it to a local service center.

I'm just guessing, but you may have a problem with the guard on your particular saw. Mine has always woked very smoothly. I use my saw frequently, and am very happy with everything about it.

Remember to keep pressure with your hand on the flooring board before the blade so it doesn't spring up. You might be binding the blade. You will get a cleaner cut as well. Worked great for me!

Mines getting loose already and I barely used it. Wish I didn't buy this knife. Just got the gerber strongarm and that knife is very sharp and nice.

Hi. The previous responses about the blade lock and/or seating the blade may be the problem. Another thought was that the blades are not the "t" type blades required for the saw. I have had no problems with my saw and really like it.

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

I have not experienced that. Do you have a steel? That could really help. All knives need to be maintained.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

I have not had that problem. I would check inside the blade chamber to make sure there is no residue sticking to the inside of it.

If you check the champion website it says that this problem is due to cutter hole needing to be cleaned or lack of lubrication. This shouldn't happen, I would make sure the cutter is clean and the shaft is clean, makes sure I'm not juicing to slowly to heat up the juicer or using vegetables like grass that are causing too much heat and then if your still having problems get a new cutter.

Sorry, I have the same problem. My friend says the only fix is to get a slicer that is serrated.
