This video was incredibly helpful. Helped me save some serious money. Please keep producing this step by step content.
You could "Helicoil" that thread ordrill out and fit a steel nut by whatever method you want. Thanks for the vid cheers.....
That's a very good idea, Stuart. Thanks for sharing that idea! That is much appreciated.
Greetings, Christophe
Fixing your own tools is a great skill to have. Great video my friend. I just love your content.
Thank you so much, Jason. It's great to see you back here. Greetings
This is part of what I love about us DIY Types. Fix it. Don't buy it!
Well presented Sir!
You are right! It is fun when you can fix stuff yourself. Thanks for watching, Matthew!
Appreciating your efforts to share such a great video with your followers thanks brother
Those are some kind words, Khalid. I really appreciate that. Thank you for watching and see you in the next one. Greetings, Christophe.
Great video as usual. I am sure a number of individuals will be impacted
Thank you so much, my friend. Let's hope so.
Greetings, Christophe.
Thank you for your wonderful video. Your explanation was brilliant and extremely helpful. Thank you. David, Australia
I'm glad to see my video is helping you, David. Good luck fixing yours.
Regards, Christophe
Woohoo, and you're back in business! 👌🏽
Best thing about filming this particular video is that if you for get a step on what goes where or in what order should it go,
you have the film for reference and can't go wrong.
Now to work out a way to replace that threaded piece with a stronger threaded steel counterpart when this happens again.
Awesome job on the repair, mate, and good on you for sharing your knowledge with others that may experience the same problem.👍🏽
Those are some kind words, Bill. I really appreciate that.
It is indeed a good thing to take pictures (or in my case film it) when taking apart stuff like this. I did not need it in this situation, but I had other reparations that I needed to go back and watch pictures.
Thank you for watching and see you in the next one.

Christophe
It was my turn this week to replace the table saw lift plate on my machine; same issue. Thanks for the video it really helped!
I'm sorry to hear that, my friend, but I'm really glad my video helped you. That is why I like to make videos, so people are inspired. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write me a comment, Joe. That is really appreciated. Greetings Christophe.
Nice repair. I was waiting for you to say "I'll build my own" thanks for this.
Hahaha. Maybe one day when I'm out of project ideas hahaha. Thanks for watching buddy!
Thanks
Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment. I'm glad this video helped you.
Greetings.
thx for de video man. I have the same tablesaw and my motor is broken. Now i have an example to dissasambly the table saw 👍. I hope a new Makita motor is not to expansive🙏.
I'm glad to see that this video could help you, Robert. Greetings, Christophe
@@christofix new makita motor arrived : 230€ 😳😳!!!
Thanks for the vid! I don't have one of these...but IF I ever get one... I'll know what to do when the inevitable happens! 😇😎😀
Thank you so much, Jeffrey. I'm glad you like this video. Greetings, Christophe.
Hello Christofix
Impossible for me!
You have done a great restoration! Really great job!
Your friend Tachi
Hi Tachi! Thank you for your kind words, my friend.
I'm glad i could fix this issue.
Thanks for watching, my friend.
Greetings,
Christophe
hello christofix, the same thing happened to me too x 2 times and since it is a fairly recurring problem and that the piece in question is aluminum I solved it by making an iron plate with a threaded hole and a 12 mm threaded bar, by doing so I have completely solved the problem (at least x now). I wish you a good day Paolo
@@paoloraso7907 Very nice fix. I think I will prepare the first piece like the way you did. When this happens again (and I'm pretty sure it will) I can replace it with that one and fix it for good. Thanks for sharing this. That is much appreciated, Paolo. Greetings, Christophe.
Mine just broke, thanks for the headups. I might try to glue 2 bolts first for a 'quick fix', before orfering the new part.
I'm sorry to hear. I hope this video will help you to fix this problem. If you need any help, you can always contact me. I will try to help where I can. Greetings
Christofix Thanks a lot. I just fixed mine following your video. I tried to machine, but noticed the left hand thread on the lift screw. So I ordered the part instead.
It's extremely disappointing to me that Makita would use such a cheat in the design of a table saw. Aluminum threads will obviously get sloppy & fail after not that much use. Those threads should be hardened steel or as a minimum replaceable without disassembling the motor. Very sad
Indeed, Mike. On the other hand this table saw is affordable and have some pros.
Thank you for watching and leaving me a comment, I appreciate that.
Greetings.
Hi,
Why didn't you just glue a nut on top of the stripped bolt threads?
I loved the video and I had never seen a Makita tablesaws inside, so thanks for shoing this.
It was an opportunity to clean the belly of the machine.
Thanks for sharing this tutorial.
Keep it safe, it is not over yet.
Greetings,
Willy from Belgium.

I think the glue will never hold. There is a lot of force on that part when lifting the blade.
Thanks for your kind words, Willy.
@@christofix Hi ,
I am convinced it will, but I respect your thoughts.
Thanks for you mail too.

Amai, die operatie ging dieper dan ik aanvankelijk ingeschat had!
Hahaha, ja en mijn assistente was juist op verlof, dus ik stond er alleen voor. LOL. Bedankt voor je berichtje, Nico. Groetjes, Christophe
Perhaps you should mention to remove the brushes first before you put the rotor back into the stator, otherwise it may damage the brushes.
Indeed! Very well noticed. I thought about it when the video was already online. Indeed, you have no choice but to remove them or the rotor will not fit. Thanks for mentioning this! I appreciate your input.
Can you believe is just happened to me, I was watching this video few days a go. So tomorrow I’ll check what is go in on. I was thinking to upgrade with a new saw but I’m affectionate to her….I start my new hobby with her and even I’m plenty of Festool equipment now as growing I’m still like this saw even is a pice of shit….😂😂
ps. There is any way to pull up the saw end fixed in position until I get the piece..?
I'm sorry to hear you're having this problem too, Luca. It is a lot of work to replace this piece, but it can be done. To keep the blade in place, I put some blue tape around the threaded rod, just below the aluminum part. This way you can continue working with the table saw until the piece arrives. I hope this will help you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, and I'll help you where I can. Good luck with replacing this part.
Was there something that you didn’t disassemble? Maybe still a little bit awkward to talk to the camera but you did very good...
Thanks for that support, buddy. It is indeed awkward hahaha. What do you mean by something I didn't disassembled?
Hi Christofix,
I have the same saw, but have noticed mine is not maintaining blade height, especially apparent when creating a lap joint.
Was this a symptom you noticed before you had complete failure of controlling the blade height?
Yes indeed, Robert. It all started with that a few months ago. Raising the blade to full height went hard, and bringing it to the lowest point also got harder and harder. Until one day the mechanism broke. I hope your table saw is not going to break, Robert. And if it does, do not fear to replace this part. You can always send me a message if you need any help.
Greetings, Christophe
@Rob Bruce You are welcome. I now understand what you mean. That's very annoying when the blade drops every time. Maybe the aluminum part is the reason for this issue too.
Voor sloebers zoals ik is deze zaagtafel de beste optie voor het geld. Dus ik weet wat me te wachten staat in de toekomst.
Wat een operatie. Hoeveel tijd was je kwijt?
Inderdaad, dit is geen slechte machine voor de prijs. Ik zou het nog steeds opnieuw doen. Goh, dat is moeilijk te zeggen omdat ik alles ook nog eens film. Maar ik vermoed dat dit haalbaar moet zijn om op een uurtje of twee te kunnen fixen. Met filmen inclusief duurde het bij mij ongeveer 6 uur. Meer werk dus aan camera en belichting juist zetten dan aan het werk zelf hahaha.
Als het probleem zich voordoet en je loopt ergens vast mag je me gerust contacteren voor hulp hoor. Groeten, Christophe
That part does look like bad design, however, 2 years of "intense" use doesnt sound that bad considering the intended usage. How much was the part?
It is indeed a bad design, it should have been in metal too. That part was pretty cheap. I paid about 29 euro for this part.
Thank you for watching.
Greetings, Christophe
@@christofix ah well thats not too bad for another 2 years of usage, if you are happy with the rest of the saw.
@@bluewanderer9903 indeed! After all, this is a "pretty cheap" table saw, compared to many other brands. There were some issues, but I was able to fix them.
But it will just fail again 😢
