Clarke Table Saw CTS10D

[jimfin]

Hi Guys. The mechinizim on the blade heigth ajustment is not working on my table saw.
The washer that fits on the adjuster bolt has come loose. You can see in the pictures where the washer should be in the groove and where it is now loose.
Do I need new parts or is there a handy fix??

Thanks for any advice.

Quick fix - use a circlip in the groove
Buy a pack like this, there's bound to be one the right size

Looks like there should be a circlip in that groove.

Been in that position recently.
Putting the clip back in the groove may help for a day or two.
Putting a new clip in may last a week or two or more.
I took the shaft out and had a deeper groove machined in it and a heavy circlip inserted cleaned and lubricated the entire mechanism.
It's looking good I expect it to be a longterm fix.
