Table Saw Trick?

[Patrick Stein]

Am I missing some trick with the big safety table saw? The wheel to adjust the blade height seems to be disengaged from whatever it is supposed to engage with. The wheel spins easily and freely (when unlocked). The blade stays still.

I think that's a recurring issue with the saw perhaps related to the trauma of firing the brake.

The Key that locks the handle to the shaft of the table adjust has come loose or out. This is a small rectangular flat piece of metal that fits in the shaft and the keyway in the wheel handle. What happens is that the height adjust wheel knob is loosened too much, the wheel slips forward and the key get torqued out.

People, Don't over loosen the lock down knob.
