Followup and solution -

I received help with solving this problem over at OWWM, and I wrote up a 'how-to adjust the blade full down position' for anyone else facing the issue in the thread over...

Thanks Pete.

I'm pretty fastidious about my tools.

After 25 years, my wife no longer looks askance when I bring home some rusty derelict (that I picked up for pennies on the dollar: I'm...

Thank you.

...I've been making this way too complicated.

As soon as the additional parts come in, and I've got the top off, I'll add a thick washer/spacer at each corner when I put it back...

Glenn? - Are there supposed to be some kind of shims/washers some place that affect the height of the table above the case?

...that could do it, too.

I didn't think of just raising the height...

Thanks everyone, for your interest.

Gunk probably isn't the issue lol.

I went through the saw when I started getting it ready for use (and I "started" over a year ago), and cleaned pretty much...

Thanks.

I have several blades (Freud's, Delta's, misc., even a Forrest). They're all the standard 10" size.

The saw was pretty obviously "tinkered with" at some point way before I got it. I'm...

The saw blade on my Unisaw rests about 1/8 inch or so above the zero clearance blade insert at full down. So even when the blade is in the fully down position, it's sticking slightly above the top of...

This is just a follow-up and conclusion to my Unisaw switch problem (just in case anyone else needs the info in a simple format).

This is the pix of the switch my Unisaw came with:

I...

Heh.

I only wish.

:D

Thanks David, and I will in the morning.

But it will be pix of the corrected wiring, after my brother and I puzzled it out late this afternoon.

Yep. Problem solved. On to the next.

I found this picture of a wiring diagram for the Klixon thermal overload protector.

I see from the Klixon diagram that the thermal overload reset switch is wired different for 115V and...

Thanks Andy. That makes sense.

...something in the wiring to the switch and/or the reset button isn't right.

The motor was wired for 115V when I bought it (I've never used the saw, other than...

I need help with understanding the "reset button" part of the switch on my Unisaw, and what it's for (and whether to just replace the whole thing).

Backstory: I finally ran 230V to my garage this...

LOL. Sorry. Methinks I o'ermuch like to hear the sound of my own typing.

I edited the original to make clear the actual questions. The "back story" part of the post is eminently ignorable.

Q1: a. Can anyone tell me what the "rough distance" of the RH side of the blade to the miter slot should be? b. Should the blade be [roughly] centered between the two miter slots?

I'm not talking...

Update: Proof that I finally got the jointer off the trailer. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (I built a hell-a stout 6 ft. trailer ramp many moons ago, bolted together from 2x6's and ½...

Okay, I was away from the discussion for awhile.

So this is than, a collectible that someone would want to have?

Or, hmm, it is a "Bedrock class" equivalent plane (something I've been...

I recently posted asking about an 8 inch jointer C/L "find" (to which: thanks to everyone for helping me learn more about it).

One of the things I needed for the new-to-me jointer was a mobile...

Oh yeah! It's pretty purty lol.

...actually, he also threw in what turned out to be the bones of a Stanley 5½ [probably] Type 9 (sorry: no pix, yet ...and there's entire sites devoted to what I...

Wow, that was quick lol.

Thanks, Dave. User rotation it is.

:)

When I recently bought an 8 inch jointer through C/L, the seller (a really nice guy), threw in some freebies.

One was a mystery plane (well, to me), that I had no idea about, but was fascinated by...

Thanks.

From what I've gleaned through the responses, I think it started life as a Geetech CT200 also.

I used the customer service form on the Harbor Freight website to ask if they had any information about a SKU# T-7700 Jointer, and I just got an email from HF Support with a PDF parts list attached...

Thanks for that suggestion. I'm trying that right now ...and it is showing some machines I didn't come across.

...jointers are pretty dear around here, and usually all 1½ cees gets you is a rusty...

You and my lovely bride lol (I dunno who's happier: me or her ...so she gets to quit listening to me whine lol). Thanks! :)
