Thread: table saw binding mj2325a

Would it be possible to post a picture of the saw ( switched off of course!) in that position? There are a few members here with your type of saw and a pic could make it easier to identify the problem.

here are few pics,need some help urgently. as u can see from the pics its only the arbour binding,i have tried to move the table top but the whole saw pivots a hinge on the table.pls help me out here.

Did you mean to say that that the whole saw pivots from a hinge on the table? If so, then there could be some adjustment in the way the 'hinge" is attached to the saw table.

Also, how old is the saw? if you bought it new, you could always get the vendor to fix it free of charge.

is there anybody who can give me drawings or someone who has had experience with this model.

thanksfor ur reply TP but i need some detailed help.

I have a different saw but I found if I raise the blade to full height and tilt it to 45deg the end of the arbor touches the table. Check if this is the case with yours. If so lower the blade a bit and check again.

I haven't bothered fixing mine but the fix would be to cut a bit off the arbor (don't want to do that), or grind the underside of the table where the arbor touches it (I will do this if need be).

can guys who own this saw tell me how much the arbour measures so i can compare it to mine

i think my arbor size may have been changed for a non standard arbour

I cant help you with your problem but here are some pics of the arbor of my saw. Its a MJ2325CT thats around 5 months old. It looks pretty much the same as yours.

Arbor diameter is 30mm that steps down to a 16mm thread, the threaded section is approx 16-18mm in length.

As you can see there is about 15mm clearance between arbor and table top that stays pretty consistent through out the travel between 0deg and 45deg. (pics are at full height.)

I will try to get some under table pics when i get a chance so you can compare your's to mine.

Let us know how you are going with your troubles.

Steven.

Thanks smokeshave,

ur post was very helpful,atleast now i know my arbour is standard size.Thanks for the pics too relly clear.Now i have to figure a way to get that same clearance as u have to the table top.

If u know of any adjustments how i can do this let me know.

So.....what did you find?

Is the arbor touching the table or is the cause of the binding still unknown?

still unknown, would appreciate some more input.

Here are some pics of the inside of my unit. (sorry about the quality)

I noticed that yours has a weld in about the area i have circled in my first pic. As you can see mine does not. Maybe this might hold a clue as to your problem, maybe not. Mine is a newish model and this might be normal on an older saw.
This area may not even affect the position of your arbor but at this stage it's worth a look.

Are you able to contact the previous owner to ask if any repairs were made to the saw before you got hold of it and to its age?

This is my second saw after the first one was replaced due to broken casting discovered by me when i was assembling it. Hopefully this sort of thing does not appear on my saw later on.

See how you go.

Steven.

Here is a pic of the broken casting on the first saw i recieved.

I think it's the same component that your's has the weld on but is on the opposite side and in a different position.

i cant belive there no one on his foroum o help me fix my saw.Then theres no categories for this model saw andpossible fixes etc.

I'm sorry my suggestions havn't been of any use to you.

It's difficult to diagnose a problem when no one here has encountered one such as your's.

I'm sure there's a fix somewhere.

Steven.
