It is used to hold the small plastic wrench that is used to adjust the pin plate knob. Don't remember where I saw the shot whether in one of the videos of the iBox or just where. I have mine on one of the rear blade guard screws.

Post #11 suggested the part in question was to hold that down
I was illustrating that they suggested another way.

I just opened mine to see. Haven't had the chance to try it out yet. Here's the way I found the spacer in question. Turns out Mike is right about it protecting the threaded shaft.

And JP is correct on the dimensions.

THANX
Now I know I didn't mess up assembly. Mine was not protecting anything
I remember seeing it almost first thing when I opened the box.
It's being out of place did not result in any harm though:)

Yea, there's still at least a double layer of cardboard before it could pierce the outside of the box.
Other alternatives for shipping purposes, would have been to use a rubber vacuum cap over the stud that would fit snug and not fall off.
Or use a "threaded" nylon spacer. But hey, back seat drivers can always find different ways to the same destination.

If it were not for back seat drivers on this forum
who earlier purchased the jig, y'all would not have received the 'revised' version for the shopsmith.
