Tx_woodworker Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Bought this oh 4-5 years ago worked great till now. I’ll use it on a couple of cuts and then the blade will just pop out. I reinsert the blade, locks in couple of cuts blade pops out. Repeat. The collet is locking and holding the blade I can’t remove it without rotating the collet up to release. Does this with wood and steel. Is that collet worn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx_woodworker Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I’ll type the model number here and look it up online. I hope it’s not more than a $100 part I’ll ditch it for a Milwaukee fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tx_woodworker Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Ok it is the BJR182ZI’ve tried diablo blades, Milwaukee blades, dewalt blades, and finally today used the original makita blades that came with the saw.They all lock in securely I can’t pull the blades out by hand while locked and I start using it, the blades pop out. I’m going to try and clean it but, it doesn’t look dirty no paint inside the sleeve. And if it doesn’t hold the blades still I’m buying a Milwaukee fuel 18v.

Ridgeline17 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 My Milwaukee will not release the blade. Saw was sent in for switch and barrel cam replacement and 1 year later Milwaukee said it is normal wear and will not replace the parts. The fix cost more than a NEW saw.
