JustHarry 2,087 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Is the piece needing repair cast aluminum? I can prob do it although welding cast ali is a gamble at the best of times. Is often contaminated inside the metal and just blows out for no reason. How replaceable are the pieces? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I guess it's cast, one is the top handle mount on the actual crankcase and the other is the spindle mount so not worth bying new.. These don't actually effect the saw, just think it's worth the repair.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
