Overarm Guard Modification

John Hinman All Messages By This Member #134420 Moving the overarm guard/dust hood out of the way requires walking around the saw and unscrewing a bolt. This is a nuisance if all that is needed is to get the guard out of the way to check a set-up. I think some saws have a more convenient set-up. If I recall correctly David Best once described being able to pull a wire to release the arm, from the operator position. Has anyone modified the bolt connection to make it a quick-release? Any good ideas? The picture shows the bolt, with a Kip lever, on my saw. -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941

John Hinman All Messages By This Member #134422 Bill, I’m curious what the pin set-up looks like. I don’t have a pin, just a bolt that goes into the arm to hold it in place. Someday when you are in your shop, would you please share a picture of the pin and cable set-up? Thanks! -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941

David P. Best All Messages By This Member #134425 开云体育 John, you can see my remote-release setup here: ?https://flic.kr/s/aHskt9MBRv One my machine, the system that locks the overhead swivel-arm in place is a spring loaded detent actuator. ?From your photos, it appears that the Kipp lever in the photo actually threads into a tapped hole in the swivel arm? ?Or is that Kipp lever just pressing against the swivel-arm and it’s somehow locked/stopped on the opposite side? ?Please post a few additional photos that more-fully illustrate how this arm is unlocked to swivel forward. ?Also, what is the diameter of the Kipp lever threaded shaft - I’m guessing it’s just under 10mm?

John Hinman All Messages By This Member #134428 David,? The bolt with the Kip lever is M8x1.25, and it threads into the square HSS section of the overarm guard. The M8 bolt snugs the arm up against two cap screws. A carriage bolt provides vertical support. -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941

John Hinman All Messages By This Member #134437 I have not tried leaving it unconnected. It would work as dust collection, but I wondered how susceptible it would be to bumps and vibration. I’ve also been looking at switchable magnets, like Magswitch. These are strong, but there is still the issue of switching them without walking around the saw. A regular magnet would work as a detent, releasing with just a tug on the arm. I probably have something laying around to experiment with. Thanks for the ideas! ? -- John Hinman Boise ID K700S and A941
Dan Gavrilyuk All Messages By This Member #134438 开云体育 I’m in the same camp as mark. Simple and easy enough to leave unbolted.? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Jan 21, 2024, at 9:46 AM, Mark Kessler <mkessler10@...> wrote: ?I leave mine unbolted?
Brandon Nickel All Messages By This Member #134442 I also leave mine unbolted. There's enough friction when it goes home that I don't worry about it moving on its own. A ball-detent or spring loaded pin and brass bushing would give you the postive stop you seem to be looking for. Or, you could go exotic like a big electromagnet, but the holding current might run up your utility bill.?
Mark Kessler All Messages By This Member #134451 Forgot to mention one bit of warning leaving the guard unbolted, if the guard is set low to the material like right to it if you run the material back after the cut it can catch and pull the guard backwards it happened to me one time but i had fully cleared the wood and i think the guard dropped a tiny bit?
