What to do if Clarke Metalworker CBS45MD Saw blade dulls prematurely?
- D
  Dominique BarnesJul 30, 2025
  To prevent premature dulling of your Clarke Saw blade, use a finer tooth blade and reduce the speed. Increase feed pressure by decreasing spring tension on the side of the saw. If there are hard spots or scale on the material, reduce speed and increase feed pressure. For work hardening material, increase feed pressure by reducing spring tension. If the blade is twisted, replace it and adjust the blade tension.

  Matthew KingAug 4, 2025
  To address excessive blade breakage in your Clarke Saw, ensure the material is securely clamped in the vice. Adjust the speed and feed settings, and consider replacing the blade with one that has a finer tooth pitch. If the material is too hard, use a slower speed and a finer tooth blade. Make sure the blade tension is correctly adjusted. Start the motor before the blade contacts the material, and adjust the wheel alignment and guide bearings as needed.

Why is my Clarke Saw motor running too hot?
- E
  Erin RamirezAug 9, 2025
  If your Clarke Saw's motor is running too hot, there are several potential causes. First, reduce the tension on the blade and the drive belt. Next, check the oil bath to ensure the gears are properly lubricated. Finally, if the blade is binding, decrease both the feed and speed.

How to fix bad cuts (cutting not square) with Clarke Saw?
- D
  Diane MahoneyAug 14, 2025
  If your Clarke Saw is producing bad cuts that are not square, it could be due to several factors. Reduce the feed pressure by increasing the spring tension on the side of the saw. Ensure that the guide bearings are properly adjusted with a clearance not greater than 0.001”. Increase the blade tension and if the blade is dull, replace it. Adjust the speed and ensure the blade guides are properly spaced and tightened. Also, check and adjust the blade tracking.

Why Clarke Metalworker CBS45MD Saw produces bad cuts and blade is twisting?
- A
  Ashley SmithAug 20, 2025
  If you're experiencing bad, rough cuts and the blade is twisting on your Clarke Saw, decrease the speed or feed. Replace the blade with a finer one and adjust the blade tension. If the blade is binding, decrease feed pressure. If there is too much blade tension, decrease it.

What to do if teeth are ripping from the blade of Clarke Saw?
- B
  Bradley KaufmanAug 25, 2025
  If teeth are ripping from the blade of your Clarke Saw, use a finer tooth blade for the work. Decrease pressure and increase speed if the pressure is too heavy and the speed is too slow. Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped to prevent vibration. If teeth are clogging, use a coarser tooth blade or a brush to remove chips.
