Love it, you've done an awesome job of restoring that, out of interest what's the run down time like? Sseems like it takes a while!

very nice jack, is that action chain driven? or is it just gravity?

I like to tune the shop tools up between Xmas and newyears and i was just showing off :ho2
The tables of the PK roll very easy and that is just the wight of the table with a light push.

This PK is not fitted with a brake and does take a long time to run down. But all direct drive saws do that are not fited.

Hi Jack, I've been giveing my machines a clean asswell. Is your saw on a slight tilt or is it designed. Mine doesn't move that easy, probably because I reused the original bearings. I have a problem with the pin that locks the sliding table, I cannot get the cam handle to stay put, it always springs back. I've tried flattening the bottom to no avail.
