Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
Oh and no I never had a locking set screw for the glide screws.

Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
I am wondering if the last guy didn't tighten a set screw down on the glides ,,mash out the threads and ruin the adjustment slot.
The new ones work like they are supposed to.

Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
Well your new version is far different then mine. Just to prove that mine is in no way a tight fit I did a little video. When and if they will tighten it is due to the hex head, once you adjust them they don't stay in place, it takes just about zero effort to turn them. It is the same on the couple of this vintage that I have.........JPG wrote:My 'experience' with both versions* is that the nylon screws(both types) are a tight fit in the threaded hole and do not require a locking set screw.
What I do recommend for the stop rod set screw is a 1" long flat bottom set screw with a 5/32" hex socket.
That keeps crud out of the hole.
*yes I 'located' my 'newer' version. It is tapped through.

So am I just a lucky one or are other peoples ones the same?

Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
Thats pretty lose Ed.
Maybe you could wrap some teflon tape or some thing around the threads?
even after chasing my threads with a tap they are not that lose .

Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
From the couple of these that I have I think this is how they are. Waiting to see if others have the same experience. The slot headed ones are much tighter/snugger.Hobbyman2 wrote:Thats pretty lose Ed.

I get these adjusted then tighten the metal set screw on them, not like a gorilla mind you, just to snug and that holds them fine. I'm sure thread locks of almost any non perminate type would work.
A shopsmith class I took many years ago they recommended this to keep the metal set screws from working loose and getting lost. Well either that or remove them and store them for whey you need them, which for me pretty much means I'd spend hours looking for them....

Re: 510 Miter Gauge Problem
So ,,,,,the set screw is supposed to tighten against plastic threads to keep the hex head screw from moving ?
I got it!
I got it!
