Kity 618 table saw

[Bill sellers]

Can anybody help! I just bought an old kity 618, it came with a sliding mitre table and the cast ali mounting brackets. But it seems to need the rails that it runs on. I don't have a manual which would show how it all goes together. Can't find anything on the web, so does anyone have any info please.

Hi Bill,
Try contacting NMA at www.nmatools.co.uk.
They were very helpful to me when I needed info on my old Kity P/T.

Hello John,
I gave that a try, and someone called Simon Knott replied saying sorry but they no longer have spares. I asked if they had spares or a manual. I wonder if this is a dead end?

Biull,
try Barbara Schneider at Sheppach in Germany. They bought kity and she too helped me with an out of print manual.

I have a 617 that I have had from new and have the manual for it and I guess that it is similar to yours.
I you tell me what you need to know I will see if I can help.

Hello, I would like to find out what the machine looks like fully assembled with the sliding table attached. It would be nice if your manual had a schematic showing it. I have the table but not the rails it runs on. Any help would be appreciated, cheers.
Bill.

The manual is 60 pages long but does not have a single diagram of the whole machine but has diagrams on every page showing set up and use of individual parts of the machine.
I will take a photo of mine and upload tonight.
It sounds as if you are missing 2 steel bars for the table to run on these should be easy to make I can measure them and give you sizes.

That sounds like a plan. Thankyou, I'm eager to see what it's supposed to look like.

Bill.

Hello Powertools, I've put some pictures of my Kity,and as you can see my model is quite a bit different. Shame, but I recon in runs on some kind of square rail, and a bar nearest the bed of the saw.

bill, is yours more like the 619 http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/produ ... k100619116 ?

or should the square rail be more like the one on the 419- http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h ... A&dur=1666

Macros, thanks for your input. It's not really like either of those I don't think. The two cast alloy brackets mount under the table to the left of the blade. Then, probably two pieces of ally box section fit into the slots in the brackets to create a sort of railway. The maybe a bar on the rail nearest the table. It's all guesswork at the moment.

Here is a picture of a 618, as far as I know,

Sorry I could not help.

 

[Bill sellers]

Maltrout, that's it. Now all I need are those bars, or dimensions so I can make some. Many thanks.

Bill.

No worries Powertools, thanks for your efforts.
I'm wondering what year the 618 was manufactured?

Not sure on the year. I just googled kity 618 and found a link back to this site from 2006

One of the members on here purchased one last year from a member on here.

The one who bought the saw is still active on here, and as i write this he is online - ossieosborne
