Comments:

This was a basket case and was just a bunch of parts with some crucial one missing or worn. Both Zamak castings are fine and not worn. What's worn is the teeth on the shaft that hooks up to the crank that protrudes from the front of the saw to lower and raise the table, not adjust the bevel. Because there was an area of grooves on the shaft that were not worn, I drove the pin from the stop collar, drilled another hole in the shaft and moved the collar which allowed me to engage a better part of the shaft that that did not have the grooves or teeth worn. Now, the pinion that moves the table up and down works slicker than snot on a door knob. It took a bit of work, but I have a good mechanical aptitude. The thing was missing a few parts and nuts and bolts, but I keep a good selection of that stuff on hand in my shop and love fabrication - gives me a real sense of accomplishment when I can get an old machine like this purring. Duralube also makes a world of difference in making metal parts work smoother, try it, it works!!
