i have a dewalt chop saw the larger 14''

any ideas on how to stop the small deflextion of the wheel ? my cuts are never a true 90 degree due to the wheel flexing out alittle.
weather i start slow or fast .... outcome is same.... slight angle to my cut.

anyone have a tip to make a chop saw cut a true 90 degree cut?

thicker wheels help. smaller wheels will also help....and cut slow

Cutting slow helps. Also after the cut coming back down supper slow can help true it up.

thimk i might try this .... make a cut ... degree the cut ... lets say its a +1 degree cut ... set saw at -1 degree ... make another cut and chect it ... and a 2 cut and check it.
maybe that will work ?! i really need a band saw and disc/belt sander.

most cheap or even midgrade bandsaws wont cut a "perfect" 90° either...thicker cutoff wheel, feed very slow...or try to compensate like you described...

I have never personally run one but I have heard that the metal blades work really well (although very expensive).
