REplacement Part Obsolete

[ephotrod]

Looking for a handle for my chop saw after 15 years of great service the plastic handle has given way. In doing research the part is obsolete, but I have hope you all may have one know where to get one or have an alternative for this part.

Have you tried eBay? There are a lot of tool parts available there - many used some NOS.

Call the DeWalt factory service center. They can search all of the centers in the US and one of them may have one sitting around. I’ve had excellent luck with this in the past.

You might try these guys. They say they buy obsolete parts.

FWIW, I repaired a similar handle by tracing the outline of the handle on a piece of .125" aluminum, bandsawed it and drilled the holes for the through screws. This provided a backbone to take the load and two sides of the broken plastic handle were filled with JB Weld and the three pieces were clamped together with the original screws. I added a couple of extra screws where the break didn't have a screw.

This repair was still working when I loaned the saw to a friend for a project; never seen it since.
