I found one of these in an estate sale. I still have it and it's incredible. The sound when you mash the button all the way down that triggers the tuning forks is so weird and satisfying.

I just looked and saw these go for about $200 US today. WOW!!

Well, the screws were definitely over torqued, but it didn't fix the issue. I tried multiple methods to get one of the screws out but had to use a grinder and a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

I think I may have an Idea what is causing the issue after looking at the gears after your advice.

Since the clanky movement really only happens in one direction when the saw is on its side I figured it had something to do with the direction of the pressure being applied by the screw mechanism.

When I put the table saw completely upside down and then tried to move the blade up and down it was very smooth.

This led me to think that there might be some movement in the gears based on the pressure that's being applied. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about and you'll see a gap that closes when I go in one direction and opens back up in the other.

You can see the movement of the gear at about the 1:04 mark in the video.

Any advice?

I'm attempting to learn what a shaft boss is so I can find it. Is there a part number on this exploded diagram that you can refer to?

It may be in the 30s or 50s (if that helps you find it)

You may be right about the tightness. I noticed that the spinning gets smoother when the saw is on it's side as seen here in the second video I made. https://youtu.be/MdXE7IPnA6s?si=AteFwlZ1x2kFfOVt

I'm not sure where the right place to post this would be, but here goes.

I bought this DW745 Type 2 saw off of Facebook Marketplace. I think it was abused. I replaced both of the elevating shafts (5140100-04 Diagram # 82 & 5140100-05 Diagram # 84). I also had to replace both of the bevel gears (5140061-65 Diagram # 56).

The aluminum housing seems to be okay and the lifting shafts move in and out without much resistance. I'm still getting this chunky movement when I raise and lower the blade.

I'm looking for advice before I go though the whole process of replacing the entire aluminum housing (Gear Case A25607 Diagram # 213) on the motor.

I just planted a bunch of driller Diakon Radishes in my front yard to do some biological tillage on all of my clay soil.

Lots of info on YouTube about doing this.

I plan to leave most of them in the ground to compost, but I plan to pull some for eating.

The cool thing about them is that pull needed nutrients from deep underground.

This is what I bought: https://meritseed.com/driller-daikon-radish-annual/

I know I can send soil samples to my local university extension office for testing, but how do I test soil for glyphosate-based herbicides, lead, arsenic, and other contaminates?

As a citizen scientist I'm about to get into composting more on my property and would like to know more.
