This authentic component is an OEM part which is designed for use with DeWALT table saws. It helps to secure the bevel gear to the shaft. This is an identical replacement for a damaged or a faulty hardware that was installed on a new unit. Keep in mind this high-quality ring is made of durable metal and is sold individually. Make sure to check the appropriate diagrams of your model for the exact location and the correct installation of this component. It is best to use snap-ring pliers to secure and remove it.
Unplug saw, removed blade, turned saw upside down and vacuumed dust off. Turned crank to raise blade and found aluminum shavings coming out of threaded portion of gear case. Found the exact part at ereplacements.com, with recommendations for other useful parts. Once I had the motor cover and gear case removed I found that the armature

Removed 3 screws holding arbor plate to gear case, then carefully, a bit at a time, pried the arbor plate off, never prying on the ears that the screws go through as they could easily be broken off. Found that from inside I could use a screwdriver to gently pry the armature out of the gear case. It was a tight press fit. With a digital caliper I measured the bearing and the bore for the armature and found that they had no clearance whatsoever. The armature must be pressed in exactly square and this would be difficult to do by hand. A hammer is the last tool you want to use here. So, I heated the gearcase in my gas grill set to about 300 degrees and waited 15 minuets. Measuring the bore I found no expansion so waited another 15 min. and found that the bore had grown .005 inches. Perfect. With oven mitts I held the hot gearcase in one hand and slipped the armature in place easily, then let the parts cool to room temp. Reassembled everything and now am ready to get back to work. It took an hour or two partly because I\'m retired and in no hurry, difficulty of repair depends on each persons experience ability and tools available.
