I'm having some issues cutting 1/8" thick angle iron with my HF cutoff saw
(44829). When the blade is running at full speed, it is okay, but when it
is slowed down (ie, when it is doing any work) it wobbles back and forth,
loud enough to hear it, making the kerf it cuts about three times the
blade width (the cut ends up looking like a "V").

I checked the abrasive wheel arbor, and it doesn't seem to have any play
in it, so I'm guessing it is the abrasive wheel itself. The one I'm using
is Norton 89399; should I try a different wheel, or is there something
else I can do to keep it from wobbling about?

Thanks,

Jon

Put a new blade on it, and pay serious attention to all the details to make
sure you got the spacers, nuts, etc, all right. If it still does it, take
it back. A blade fracture can be catastrophic. They're supposed to work
and work right. Yours obviously isn't for some reason, and if it is in the
machine, you're entitled to a new one. Just be sure you got it right. If
it still don't work, don't put yourself in harms way.
