Sawdust manufacturer.
Spent some time on the table saw this afternoon.
My thinking being that I could minimise downtime.
First impression is there is not much to it for £1500 new. Has anyone built their own from scratch? I reckon the motor mount/blade movement assembly is the tricky bit.
Anyway disassembly went smoothly. but alas on starting to put things together again I discovered the new shaft is , in one part about 60 thou thicker than the old one.
So tomorrow I'll take a trip to the local friendly precision engineer and seek his advice. I'm also going to take the opportunity to have the motor checked, don't want to have to dismantle again anytime soon.
Having some time on my hands since the job was not completed I decided to investigate the blade tilt mechanism which has developed a two or three turn slack when changing direction.
The problem is a very inferior cir clip or as I have just discovered on google an "other bearing cir clip".
It reminds me very much on a ring my daughter got in a lucky bag when she was 6 years old.
Hope someone can suggest an alternative to this before reassembly.
The shaft is 12 mm with the recess for the cir clip 11mm
