Makita MLT 100 Fence problems?
Hi Guys and Girls
I purchased a Makita MLT 100 just before Chrisy to do non critical cuts and found that if I put any sort of pressure on the fence it would let go causing all sorts of ugly things to occur.
I tried it with a clamp on the handle end and that worked realy well and just before I removed the handle and bolted the quick action clamp on I thought I had better have a closer look at why makitas lock mech didn't work. Hmm, removed the C pin from the bottom of the cam (the pin limits the rotation of the cam) (pin punch/nail punch taped out) and all of a sudden the lever can go into a full lock down position. Worked a treat, zero movement even with a fair amount of pressure. 2min fix, I have only used it a couple of times yet but so far so good. So if you have bought one of these little gems this is a very quick mod.
