My speed control was very difficult to turn after I lubed and put everything back together, so I decided to wax the back of that handle plate, and it made it much easier to turn. The only problem was that when I got the speed up to R the speed control continued to turn and accelerate on its own. I had to remove the wax.
Thanks, I’ll watch for that.

Speed response seems a bit sporadic?

All that noise is typical.

Range appears restricted, did you do a high speed adjustment?(sets max fast)(sheave travel limits slow speed 'min")

I haven't done any adjustments, just got it back on the tubes and was happy it ran. I'm looking on the forum now for adjustment procedures

Starts at about 9 min in.

Take the nut/screw flush comment with a grain of salt! Nuts thickness etc. have varied over the years.

Excellent! Do be careful about exceeding max speed of attachments. IIRC the sanding disc max is ~ 2000 RPM.

The steel disk inertia may be responsible for the sporadic response.

It continues to go back together. I've run into an issue with the fence, its hanging in the same spot to the right of the blade opening. I thought it might be the tube, so I swapped them front to back, but it still hangs. Its not hitting the table, so I'm stumped. I've linked a short video of the problem.

It appears to be hanging up near/over the miter gauge slot.

For starters, I would back out that confounded fence biasing screw until the inner end is flush. It appears in the upper left part of the 'head' in your second pix.

I noted it bound more when you first pushed it towards the blade slot. Pushing that direction causes the fence 'head' leading end to cock towards the tube.

The tubes may have greater c-c spacing at the hang point but that would imply insufficient rear clamp clearance.


I really think that setscrew is de culprit.

P.S. Another look revealed scratch marks on the head casting on opposite sides of the setscrew. The screw may have scored the tube when sliding off the end. Look for a burr on the ends of both tubes.

BTW glad that setscrew IS a flat point as it should be.
