You must be the coolest grandmother EVER! How cool would it be to be able to say "ya my Grandma just painted a skull flame job on her Shop Smith" Your ex must be an idiot.

You slide the miter gage into the slot from the edge. That washer keeps the miter gage from pulling up if there is a kickback from the blade. The other threaded hold it for a screw that makes the miter gage fit better in the slot. You tighten it and it removes play side to side in the slot.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure if it belonged inside the headstock.

I have a rubber ring on the tube. Is this normal or should it be somewhere else?
