I have a dewalt dw 705 12" compound miter saw type 3
the saw still works but it seems to have about half the power that it used to and bogs down on any heavy cuts. The brushes seem to be good.

I think the brake is bad on my DeWalt DW705 type 5 chop saw. How exactly does the brake work, and when it goes bad, what needs to be replaced?

Hello, experts. I have a DW705 (type 4) that has been a reliable workhorse. Recently I noticed that the blade has a distinct wobble, and when the saw is stopped, I can move the blade back and forth about 1/16". The net affect is that this leads to tear out on cuts, even with a sharp 60 tooth blade.
Looking at other posts, sounds like culprits could be spindle, blade washer, and/or bearings. Any insight on where to start would be appreciated. This has been a great saw, and I'd like to keep using it....

I have a Dewalt 705 Type 3 Miter saw. I would have to pull the trigger multiple times to get it to start. When I replaced the switch and plugged it in to test, the motor smoked and would not run. I took the motor apart and the field part has burnt wires (winding) on one side of the field. Is it worth replacing the field(approx. $50) or is it a lost cause and time to get a new saw? Thanks.
