The question is how do you align the BS to the SS using the old long tubes?

The short stub is roughly 2 1/4 " on all the eccentrics. I did some digging and found the original straight tubes with the stop collars. You are right, no side to side adjustment. It is a bit of a bear to get the vertical adjustment. I guess the power coupler takes up the difference. Why the de...

I measured mine and I get roughly 4,25" on the tube that goes into the BS. I have a "long" eccentric and it is roughly 6 5/8" long/

Let me get this right. Run the hex nut on the underside with the clamping washer out far as I can. Lift up on the infeed table and drop the adjustment depth of cut adjustment knob grove into the casting saddle. Tighten the hex nut sufficiently to maintain depth setting.
