I have the startrite TA145 and have re-furbished it to a happy state.
I bough a brand new ripping blade straight away but immediately found the blade would slow to a stop. It would also start to chatter causing the blade to deviate and dig in to the side of timber, leaving annoying gouges.
I changed to a finer cut blade with about 60 teeth and found it to be considerably better. However it still chatters about if i try and cut anything to quickly. An example would be ripping some 38mm untreated carcassing - probably the softest timber i would ever cut and it still slows the blade enough to make it chatter and even stop spinning.
From all the reviews and advice everyone says this is a solid saw with a powerful motor - what am i doing wrong?
