Miter Gauge Glides
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:00 pm
Hello ShopSmith People!
I am the new guy with tons of questions. I have a 1983 Mark V
ISSUE...
The glides on my miter gauge are shot. I looked down in the slot and could see the head for a flat blade. Of course it was locked in place. After sometime with penatrating oil I stripped the heads out. I ordered new glides from SS. Do new glides get installed from the top, or are they inserted from the bottom? I did manage to get both of the glides extended a bit. That will help with the dragging I feel when pushing. Thanks for any help. I have lots of other problems that I am addressing one issue at a time. I love this machine.
Thank You,
