HELP for GMC compound mitre saw
G;day. I have a GMC 305mm sliding compund saw which is making a terrible rattle as the blade slows.
Checked blade assembly tightness etc, all good.
Stripped the saw down and reckon the gearbox is the problem. Main shaft for motor has slight play and I can make the gearbox make more or less noise depending on the way I hand turn the motor.
Anyone know how to remove the nut that holds on the cover that appears to hold the gearbox and motor on the mounting/blade shield?
I've checked but can't see any cir-clips or grub screws and don't want to use excess force (yet!) in case I bust something then find out a simple disassembly.
Any help greatly appreciated,
Richard
