Name that knob!

Post by kkoyle »

Quick question for all you Shopsmithers who are definitely smarter than me: I recently moved my Mark 7 from its usual spot in my garage, and when I did I found this bolt and knob on the ground underneath it. I have no idea where it came from. I have searched the whole machine, and I just can't find any place where the knob should live. Total mystery. It looks like the knobs on the blade cover, but those are both still there. Any idea where this might belong, or where I should look for a hole to put it in?

It might be from my blade cover. One of mine turned up missing last Winter. :)

The strip sander table has a screw like that..... do you have one of those?

Do you have a band saw?

Yup. The knob/bolt combo looks like it is from the band saw table; holds the split in the table level at the front.

I think (may be wrong) that is from the lower saw guard. It has one on each side.

Lower saw guard knob, maybe, but the bolt in the lower saw guard is captive. I still say aluminum band saw table leveler.

Absolutely agree Al. If it were the lower saw blade guard the carriage bolt would be in the saw guard and the knob would be on the floor. The band saw or strip sander table knob would fall off with both pieces probably still connected together.
