Troubleshooting
Wheel making excessive noise or vibrating
Check that the wheel is securely tightened. Ensure the flanges are clean and the wheel is not damaged or warped. Verify the chop saw is operating smoothly.
Slow or inefficient cutting
The abrasive material may be worn. Inspect the wheel for dullness or glazing. Ensure you are applying consistent pressure and that the saw's motor is performing adequately. Check for any obstructions in the cut path.
