Replacing 185mm Circular Blade
I've replaced the blade on my Makita 185mm saw.
I can't seem to get it balanced. It's slightly off and causes a slightly scary wobble as the blade spins.
Any tips?

Maybe the arbor hole in the blade is larger than the arbor, in which case there should be a reducer so it fits snug.

Check the mounting flanges, making sure that the back one (motor side) is properly seated on the drive shaft and perpendicular to it. Check both flanges are clean and free of swarf. Check accross the blade in 5 or 6 places to ensure that it is flat accross the disc section. Finally remount it and check by hand rotation with the saw unplugged from the mains. If the flanges are clean and seated properly, the blade disc is not buckled, and the problem is still there, the problem has to be in the shaft and bearings.
