OK, for some reason, I can download pictures today. Here are some pics of my hydraulic down feed cylinder.? ?The cylinder seems to work fine, but needle valve is a little sensitive.? ?I haven't

In message #15498 below I said "?there is no rotational dependency so you don't need to worry about getting the pivot shaft installed correctly. "? This was regard to a simplified lathe-based mod of

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
For what it's worth, I did a little experiment today to double-check my idea on cutting the relief using a lathe.? The pivot shaft would be placed in the chuck, and offset by the shim pack that was

Hi Dave Sorry for any confusion.? Just because I know what I'm writing doesn't mean anyone else can follow, so hopefully this will help. In all my explanations of left-right, up-down, back-front etc,

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
I've been messing around with a compass and drawing paper and think I've come up with a relatively simple way to machine the pivot shaft -- IF you have a lathe.? The approach removes the minimum

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Very cool, John!? I'd been wondering in particular how to determine the amount to take off the pivot shaft to correct? the angle.? Your detailed procedure makes it very clear.? You also deserve

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Hi all Mark's idea does work! It corrects mis-manufactured saws where the head comes down at an angle to the vice table! This is a game changer for all those saws that never cut properly and for ones

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Not exactly. Just that it was a little bit better before. It still had like .038" of play over 3-4 inches of vertical travel.

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Are you saying it might have been able to cut square until the table bolts were retorqued? If so, wouldn't that suggest your pivot is bored in fine and you have a table problem?? I'd think that would

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
I noticed the same thing on mine, the previous owner had made a poorly designed stand, my floor slopes to a centre drain so the casting would twist and make a difference to the cut depending where the

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Hi Morgon and John Nothing is truly rigid, least of all these saws. My saw will twist so that it doesn't cut square with a 2 foot long piece 5/8" x 4" mild steel hanging over the edge of the vice, so

Re: Entire head coming down at an angle?
Wow Mark! Yes I'm pretty sure this will work. From OEM, the pivot shaft is locked in the sawframe casting with a grubscrew ,or maybe a roll pin for some folks, and the shaft rotates in the base

Wow! That¡¯s amazing! I would have thought that the cast iron saw?bed would be a lot?more rigid than that! Very disappointing?that the loosening of the table-to-base bolting affects
