I don't have to hunt for the allen wrench, and that will also easier adjusts on the fly.

Where did the blade break at? If it's an SS blade and it broke at the weld, send it back for a replacement depending upon WHEN it was bought.

On top of the left leg is a hole you can drop your allen wrench in.

I will have to look at it - I folded it up and boxed it up so no one gets cut by it. Yes it was a Shopsmith blade ($16 if I remember correctly). I may have to contact them. Thanks for the tip. I've only made 10 cuts with it.

For example, Las Vegas is just out of my way from Hisperia and there are some hot chicks that are just out of my way from my family; who's to know? That $2500 you spent at the table and the STD (or is it SPT?)would cost you far less. Go to Lowes.
And, they say I'M the sick puppy! :D

(Sorry for the change of direction, guys!)

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

I did check the broken blade and it DID break at the weld joint. How do I get a replacement from Shopsmith? It was about 1 year old.
