How to fix a Dake SE712 blade that's not cutting straight?
- R
  Robert ColemanAug 17, 2025
  If your Dake Saw blade isn't cutting straight, several factors could be the cause. The feed pressure might be too high or too low; adjust it by increasing or decreasing the spring tension on the side of the saw. Ensure the guide bearings are properly adjusted with a clearance no greater than .001”. A dull blade could also be the culprit, so consider replacing it. Verify you're using the correct blade speed by consulting the charts inside the pulley cover and in the “BLADE SPEED” section. Also, check if the blade guides are spaced too far apart and adjust them. Ensure the blade guide assembly is tight. Finally, make sure the blade tracks correctly in relation to the wheel flanges.

Why is the motor on my Dake SE712 running too hot?
- C
  Charles EwingAug 20, 2025
  A Dake Saw motor can overheat due to several reasons. The blade tension might be too high; reduce the tension. Excessive drive belt tension can also cause overheating; loosen the two hex head screws under the motor pulley cover to reduce tension. Using a blade that is too coarse or too fine for the material can strain the motor; use the appropriate blade. Improperly aligned gears (adjust gears so that worm is in the center of the gear) or gears needing lubrication (check oil path) are other potential causes. Finally, a cut binding the blade (decrease feed pressure) can also lead to the motor running hot.
