A ticking sound when your Shop fox Saw is running could be caused by the blade weld contacting the support bearing. Use a file or stone to smooth and round the back of the blade. Alternatively, the blade weld may be failing, so inspect and replace the blade if necessary.
Why do the fuses or circuit breakers trip open on my Shop fox Saw?
Fuses or circuit breakers may trip open on your Shop fox Saw due to a short circuit in the line cord or plug. Inspect the cord or plug for damaged insulation and shorted wires, and replace the extension cord. Also, check the motor connections for loose or shorted terminals or worn insulation. Ensure that you have the correct fuses or circuit breakers installed in the power supply.
What to do if my Shop fox Saw blade comes off the wheel?
If the blade keeps coming off the wheel of your Shop fox Saw, start by adjusting the blade tension. If that doesn't solve it, adjust the blade guides. Also, consider that you might be feeding the workpiece too fast, so try feeding it slower.
Why Shop fox W1729 blade breaks frequently?
Frequent blade breakage in your Shop fox Saw can be caused by incorrect blade tension. Adjust the blade tension accordingly. Also, check and adjust the blade guides. If you're cutting corners too sharply, use a wider arc on outside cuts, or relief cuts to make tight inside cuts.
What to do if my Shop fox W1729 motor overheats?
If your Shop fox Saw motor overheats, it could be overloaded, so reduce the load on the motor. Another cause could be restricted air circulation, so clean out the motor to allow normal air circulation.
What to do if my Shop fox W1729 Saw blade will not cut a straight line?
If your Shop fox Saw blade won't cut a straight line, first adjust the blade tension. If the problem persists, the blade might be too narrow, so use a wider blade. Also, ensure that the blade guides are properly adjusted.
Why am I getting rough or poor quality cuts with my Shop fox W1729 Saw?
If you're getting rough or poor-quality cuts with your Shop fox Saw, it could be because you are feeding the workpiece too fast. Try reducing the feed rate.
Why is there sawdust buildup inside the cabinet of my Shop fox Saw?
Sawdust buildup inside the cabinet of your Shop fox Saw could be due to a clogged dust port, so clean out the dust port. It may also be caused by low CFM (airflow) from the dust collection system. Check dust lines for leaks or clogs, move the dust collector closer to the saw, or install a stronger dust collector.
What to do if my Shop fox Saw blade does not cut evenly?
If the blade on your Shop fox Saw doesn't cut evenly, the blade tension might be incorrect, so adjust the tension. The tooth set could be uneven, or the teeth might be sharper on one side than the other, so consider replacing the blade or having it professionally sharpened.
What to do if my Shop fox W1729 Saw blade does not run evenly on wheels?
If the blade doesn't run evenly on the wheels or runs off on your Shop fox Saw, the tracking may not be adjusted properly, so adjust the tracking. If that's not the issue, the rubber tire on the wheel might be damaged or worn, so replace the rubber tires. Finally, the wheels may not be co-planar, so adjust the wheel co-planarity.
