Dewalt reciprocating saw
Just wondering if anyone on here has a dewalt dcs380 reciprocating saw?
I had one bought for me ,and it just doesn't seem right. so would just like to check its not just me.
The problem is, to me at least, there seems a lot of rotational play in the cutting shoe which ends up going off centre from the blade. Looking on line all the other makes seem to use a flatter stem for the shoe rather than dewalts round bar.

Below is a pic of what I'm trying to describe

Yes, that's not right should be square on and concentric to the blade.
If anything the blade could catch on it. Diesels Lives Matter. ⛽️🛢️👨‍🔧🧰⚙️
