@markus:
Do you have the 220V version?
the saw i bought (at ebay for 30eur with carbide blade and two other blades
;-) )
is the old 12-18V version.
The damn thing had no power at all.
The cuts were very perfect but i kept turning up the voltage until there
was only smoke left of
the motor....
It has gears between the motor and the blade shaft.
Does your version already have the toothed belt?
I plan building my own saw now, with a more powerful motor of course.
