Greetings, All. (UPDATED 4-17-2024)
For anyone who owns a SAWSMITH 2000, you know spare/replacement parts are hard to get. I have a standard MODEL (555530) I've owned for over 20 years (and I got it from my father-in-law when he closed up his cabinet shop.)
Anyway, I happen to do 3D CAD design as a business, so recreating some of the hard to find parts and then printing them in PETG plastic (strong like ABS and also UV resistant) on my 3D printer has been very useful.
I thought I'd share some of the parts I have currently replaced so that if any of you SAWSMITH owners need a resource, I might be of help.
I've added images of the parts I've developed and can 3D print for you.
I have had the parts on my SAWSMITH for many years now and all are working fine. If you are interested, send me a note.
If you have another part that you can't get replaced, I may be able to help out.
I have a business website (for my 3D design business) https://www.chadwallsvcs.com and you can use the contact page there should I not see any messages here.
Best Regards,
Chad M. Wall

Re: SAWSMITH 2000 - I HAVE 3D PRINTED UNAVAILABLE PARTS
This is phenomenal. I'm PM'ing you for details. Have you done anything regarding the locking hubs #516458?
I picked up an Ultra a week ago and am very excited. Not knowing what to look for as I had never seen one, I got home to find that the threaded part of the carriage lock is broken and was missing one of the locking hubs. I have been racking my brain on ways to rig it, but this solves the issue!
