I have had this Delta 10" CMS (36-220 type 3) for about 6 5 years. It has been a real workhorse. - my only Delta tool in the shop.
Well the other night the blade guard shattered. Talk about a nail biting experience - using the saw without a blade guard!!! :eek: Needless to say, i am not using it very much these days.
I called Delta and the reference # 106D and part number 1344550 are no longer available. They had me call a service center in MI and no luck and they also checked all other service centers in the US and no luck....
I cannot imagine one of the most important parts is discontinued with no substitute available.
Any ideas besides chucking it and buying a 12" Dewalt? :D
Thanks,
Jim
