Actually my cordless DeWalt vibrated more than any of my rotary hammers including Milwaukee (cordless) and Bosh (corded). My cordless Milwaukee Sawall vibrated less but doing actual cuts, I couldn't tell the difference.

If you run the bare tool it will vibrate more since it has nothing to work against to dampen the vibrations. Put a blade in the saw and use it to compare. Mine vibrates a bit but not out of line with my corded saw.

I also have the Ryobi 18v and it doesn't vibrate violently like this Dewalt. Is much quieter as well. My ears ring after a few seconds of use.

Roy. mine has always made that rattling sound ever since I've owned it for 17 years when you run stock through it. It shouldn't make it if there's (no load) stock running through it. Only thing I've had to change on it for all those years is a blade chuck and believe me I have done a lot of work on it. Hundreds of projects. Hope this helps.Tim

Obviously it it carving into wood, so there is going to be both noise and sawdust. My experience is that the noise is equivalent to running a regular drill, and the sawdust is mostly staying on the piece during the carving and easy to vacuum up when the job is done. I'm very impressed with the noise level, I'd seen youtube videos and expected much worse than what I actually see is normal.

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

It feels like tapping plus vibration to me. It is very effective. You have to hold onto it securely when using it. I see the other answers are: vibrate only. Maybe. But it is pretty intense.

i would watch the videos at www.milwaukeetool.com, i believe they are actually drilling through concrete and bricks in the video. if that doesn't help they have customer service support that should answer your questions, you can also try youtube.com. i have the 18volt hammer drill and i haven't found anything yet it can't handle.

Mine did the same thing. It made a grinding sound and would never go back into the start position. I called support...everything, they couldn't/wouldn't help. They were going to give me a small credit to buy another one. I declined since this one had broke within a year. I decided that since it was broke anyway and I couldn't use it, that before it made 'in position' beeps to start, I would manually move the cutter all the way over into the start position(while it was making the grinding noise). There is a trigger in the start position that tells the machine that it is ready to start. I did this SEVERAL times with no success. Machine was useless. Then I tried again and I must have had the right timing. It has worked ever since...no grinding noise. It's all about timing and I don't guarrantee my fix will work for you. I figured the machine was a waste anyway, so I might as well try it (even though in my mind I figured I would break the gears by doing this. Didn't matter...it didn't work). If you are ready to write it off or throw it out the window...give it a try.

I take it when you say it moves you mean the self-propel feature works. That would mean your battery is OK and the connections there are good, so it must mean the connection from battery to blade isn't working. I'd check to make sure it isn't anything mechanical (something that isn't moving when you pull the blade control bar back or something like that) and if you can't find anything there you're probably going to find someone who can service it for you. Hope this helps.

I'm just guessing, but you may have a problem with the guard on your particular saw. Mine has always woked very smoothly. I use my saw frequently, and am very happy with everything about it.

Sounds like it's defective. I would contact the company. Mine works pretty well, tho I haven't used one in this price range before. The attachment of the brush to the motor sometimes vibrates loose while in use. I bought a couple of extra brushes so hope the unit lasts a while. The included travel brush is less robust, but performance is ok.

Yes! I had the same experience. I thought about contacting the manufacturer, but wondered if mine was just a fluke. It may be because it's unprocessed? It's almost like sand.

No, it is not normal, return it for a replacement or a refund. Fix it?---do you know how to weld? It's primary use is to cut butter or shortening into flour. What else did you have in mind for it?
1383650
yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

No. Doesn't feel like it, but stops pretty quick though. Have never had an issue and use it a lot. Great little saw.

Obviously, any electric handheld appliance is going to have some vibration. However, on this electric knife it is minimal and we bought this knife to replace the same make and model of the one we had for many years prior. It is an awesome knife and worth the price.

HI Carol, I actually got used one. Mine had to bits, but i think the new has only one bit and the hammer. BTW so far it is really good
