The only parts I have are shown in the photos as well. The folks at SS said that the parts are not available and I would have to purc...

I too am reassembling my jointer after refurbishing it. I need to know where the pin in the attached photo goes? Thanks.

Anyone have a table insert for my shopsmith jigsaw?
