Got the part in but my wife went into labor. We had a 8 lb 7 oz baby!
Obviously this is going to delay the progress of this saw project.
I did want to mention that the bent washer isn't very "bent". I'm going to figure out how to provide measurements once I can get to focus on this again.
I promise I'll get y'all updates at some point.
How did this turn out??
Still waiting on the part.
USPS says it should be here tomorrow (05/10/2024).
I'm looking forward to using this thing for so many projects.
I'm looking at this part of the diagram
I'm noticing part 83 (Washer 5140032-75)
That washer appears to be bent on purpose on the linked website for replacement parts and I'm guessing that it would keep the tension on the threaded dowel consistent. I think mine is missing or it was flattened out when someone torqued the mechanism.
Upon further research that is a bowed washer, spring washer, curved washer or wave washer. Their purpose is to retain tension and it's likely the solution to my gears binding. More can be explained in this video: https://youtu.be/sG1gSQGZQl8?si=nQhzR2a8TZUwJ5rY
That's another guess.
Would like to get some guidance here.
Thank you!! I always appreciate learning something new.
I don't think they are skipping. It gets smoother when I have the saw on it's side.
I know you can send soil to be tested by your local university extension, but how do you test for conaminents like used hydrocarbons, arsenic, lead, glyphosate-based herbicides, etc?
I am about to embark on a hobby of composting and would like to know.
I installed Gallium OS on an aging Chromebook that was no longer offered support from Google. I've been able to run FreeCAD on it with no problems.
The little Acer I bought years ago is spill proof and designed to be fixable. I think it was initially intended for kindergarten classrooms.
Initially I bought one for my dad because he was constantly getting his computer infected with viruses due to forwarding emails. This little Chromebook fixed 90% of those problems.
I loved the Chromebook so much that I bought myself too. I was disheartened when Google stop supporting the hardware but then when I found out about putting that specific version of Lennox on them it gave them new life.
