New to the forum, first post.
I bought this machine second hand sometime ago and have used only the saw and planer functions. Decided to use the thicknesser and everything functions. However, the pin for the vacuum exhaust will not fit through the hole. I think the previous owner may have used it without the the vacuum cover. The pin's knob is held onto the spline with a roll pin. I think this was a mod' so the knob did not get lost when located in the switch under the table. Should the knob pull on and of the spline? Also, is there a vacuum connector and or anyone got a solution for the oval extraction spigot?
