Does this thing have an off centered chuck that causes wobble like in the reviews? Was this a known issue milwaukee fixed?

no wobble was found when i use it. If the drill is properly centered in the chunk when it is tightened it should work as designed

I am not aware of this issue having been a concern. There is no wobble in this drill, it is really solid.

Not sure what part you're talking about for sure but...I installed the same sights and I don't have any parts that wobble. Maybe be more specific.

Sounds like you have a defective one. We had to send one back too. They replaced it. It shouldn't wobble and those pegs should fit snug in the holes. If you've never returned anything to Amazon before, just click under your account and then orders. It's easy.

Haven't used mine a lot yet, but, no wobble at any speed... Not sure about the positioned adjustment

I have not experienced any of the wobble. I do not regret buying ... Straight, and easy cuts, quickly.

I don't notice any wobble while cutting. I don't regret buying this saw at all. I haven't used my old circular saw since this one arrived. I love it.

When I first got the saw, yes there was a lot of side to side wobble. I pulled the plastic strips the saw runs on off and placed them as far apart as possible. The saw is now rock solid when it's on the rail. Another change I made was I cut out about 1" of the spring that holds the saw in the up position. This still holds the saw up but drastically reduces the wrist fatigue when using the saw. It makes it much easier to hold down when reaching across a 4' wide sheet. (Check out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vqqcmC5UY5E) After making these changes, I have absolutely no regrets in purchasing this saw. I'm much happier with it than a homemade edge guide and a standard circular saw. Hope this helps.

There is an adjustment to keep the saw tight on the track. I haven't had any issues with wobble. The safety trigger take some time to get use to. I don't regret buying this saw.

I have no wobbling issues. I actually love this thing. More than I expected. Especially with any weight in the bags under it.

I have had Dewalt, Craftsman, Ryobi, Makita and Milwaukee drills. By far, the Milwaukee are the superior tool. I have never had a wobble with the drill except when I did not mount the bit correctly in the chuck. I have this exact set, use it everyday and the battery life, quality of the tool, weight, design are the best I have ever had. I hope this answers your question.

its not a bad design, i have a 795 and had the same problem when i first used it. the chuck has an unusual dubble locking action. close the chuck down on the bit when it stops, grab the black nurled chuck and twist it clockwise again, u will hear a clicking sound as it wratchets down till it locks again, and then the bit wont fall out

I haven't had any problems with the slide. It's smooth for me. There is a knob that is used to lock the saw in a fixed position so I wonder if people had it set too tight causing it to stick. I've been using this saw to remodel my house and it's been a great saw!

Not normal. Large spring on the vertical shaft should keep it centered. Spring force is less near the middle but it should always re-center.

Sorry for the delay... I bought this for a gift.. I haven't heard of any complaints of it wobbling, but was told that they really liked it as it made things much easier... not much and hope it helps.

Hi PD, have you tried adjusting the center bit with the included Allen wrench? Also what seems to be the problem?

Yes, its by design. The lock is supposed to stay on the outside and essentially stop the wobble as you tighten the bolt. So tighten the bolt, let the lock stay on the outside as it will basically resolve the wobble perfectly for you. All you'll have is a slight amount of back/forward movement once you've locked it in place. I cant remember exactly but I think you need to use the middle hole so it doesnt allow the lock to slide inside.

Yes. I am trying to locate someway of having it replaced by Dewalt. Pain in the arse! It happens when you let go of the trigger suddenly and the brake kicks in and opens the chuck. Bad design.
