    Why is my Dake SE-912 Saw blade dulling so quickly?
    • M
      Mike ChavezAug 16, 2025
      Premature blade dulling in your Dake Saw can be caused by several factors. To address this: 1. Use finer teeth if the current teeth are too coarse. 2. Decrease the speed if it's too high. 3. Decrease spring tension on the side of the saw to increase feed pressure if it's inadequate. 4. Reduce speed and increase feed pressure if there are hard spots or scale on the material. 5. Increase feed pressure by reducing spring tension if the material is work hardening. 6. Replace the blade and adjust blade tension if the blade is twisted. 7. Tighten the blade tension adjustable knob if the blade tension is insufficient. 8. Tighten blade tension if the blade slides.

    What to do if my Dake Saw motor is running too hot?

      vwilliamsAug 20, 2025
      If your Dake Saw's motor is running too hot, it could be due to several reasons: * Reduce tension on the blade if it's too high. * Reduce tension on the drive belt if it's too high. * Use a finer blade if the current blade is too coarse for the material. * Use a coarse blade if the current blade is too fine for the material. * Adjust the gears so that the worm is in the center of the gear if they are improperly aligned. * Check the oil path if the gears need lubrication. * Decrease reed anti speed if the cut is binding the blade.

    How to fix bad crooked cuts with my Dake Saw?
    • Z
      Zachary HernandezAug 25, 2025
      If your Dake Saw is producing bad, crooked cuts, it could be due to several factors: * Reduce pressure by increasing spring tension on the side of the saw if the feed pressure is too great. * Adjust the guide bearing; the clearance should not be greater than 0.001 if the guide bearings are not adjusted properly. * Increase blade tension by adjusting the blade tension if the blade tension is inadequate. * Replace the blade if it is dull. * Adjust the speed if it is incorrect. * Adjust the guides space if the blade guides are spaced out too much. * Tighten the blade guide assembly if it is loose. * Re-track the blade according to operating instructions if the blade truck is too far away from the wheel flanges.

    Why is the blade twisting on my Dake Saw?
    • M
      Matthew PowellAug 28, 2025
      If your Dake Saw blade is twisting, it might be because the cut is binding the blade, in which case you should decrease reed pressure. Alternatively, there might be too much blade tension, so you should decrease blade tension.

    How to resolve bad rough cuts from my Dake SE-912 Saw?
    • R
      Robert MichaelSep 1, 2025
      If your Dake Saw is producing bad, rough cuts, it could be due to: * Too much speed or feed: Decrease speed or feed. * A blade that is too coarse: Replace with a finer blade. * Loose blade tension: Adjust blade tension.

    What causes unusual wear on the side of my Dake Saw blade?
    • H
      heather09Sep 4, 2025
      Unusual wear on the side or back of your Dake Saw blade can be caused by: worn blade guides (replace them), blade guide bearings not adjusted properly (adjust as per the operator's manual), or a loose blade guide bearing bracket (tighten it).

    Why are teeth ripping from the blade on my Dake SE-912?
    • C
      Cindy MillerSep 8, 2025
      If teeth are ripping from the blade of your Dake Saw, it could be because the tooth is too coarse for the work (use a finer tooth blade), or there's too heavy pressure and the speed is too slow (decrease pressure, increase speed).

    How to fix excessive blade breakage on my Dake Saw?
    • B
      Brian HarperNov 12, 2025
      Excessive blade breakage in your Dake Saw can occur for several reasons. Here's what to check: * Ensure the materials are securely clamped in the vise. * Adjust the speed and feed settings. * If the blade teeth spacing is too large, replace it with a blade that has smaller teeth spacing. * For coarse materials, use a blade with slow speed and small teeth spacing. * Adjust the blade tension so it doesn't slip on the wheel. * Make sure the teeth aren't in contact with the material before starting the saw. Place the blade in contact after the motor is started. * Adjust the wheel alignment if the blade rubs on the wheel flange. * Adjust misaligned guide bearings. * If the blade is too thick, use a thinner one. * If there's cracking at the weld, reweld it, paying attention ...
