How a skunk broke my Sawstop (indirectly!) ...
So there I was with the fix it list and I was sent into the yard to patch the holes in the fence where a skunk family was breaking through. One of the cuts required me to remove my Incra TS-LS positioner, which I carefully did... Ok - fence work done!!! Time to clean up the shop....
And then the hell began... (you have to read this fast to recreate the sense of exasperation I had as each thing went wrong in quick succession):eek::mad::eek:
The Incra slipped or moved or something as I was replacing it and then the fence hold down springs started popping out and then the attachment arm got stuck when I was pushing it back into the clamping frame (I missed the guides) and then I had to disassemble the clamping lever to loosen the arm and then the back hold fence spring moved out of position and ... well you get the picture...
So I took a breather to slow my pulse/cursing rate down and came back later to finish cleaning the shop....Only to find a rubber component of some kind under the saw stop...:confused::confused:
But from where? And will the saw start emitting smoke if I turn it on again next time???
So my request to all y'all - can someone help me identify this thing and where it comes from...??? (I looked in the relevant manuals at the exploded drawings but I couldn't find it.)
It comes from one of the following:
1) Saw stop pro 3.0 HP or 2) Saw stop Industrial mobile base or 3) saw stop over arm dust extractor or 4) Incra 32" TS-LS positioner...
It is about 3" long, "U" shaped and seems to have glue residue on the inside - I have attached some pictures to help solve the mystery... It reminds me of a blade guard or edge protector - something you may put over a sharp edge to protect it, but I could be completely wrong!
Frustratingly yours in Canada (but thankfully not skunk sprayed)...
