Thanks all for your help and suggestions! Been crazy busy over here between organizing/throwing a bday party for my better half and prepping for a two week vacation to Thailand that we leave for...

Roger that Lee, I'll do that here this week. Need to go get some paste wax...

Since I'm not going to allow myself to put it back together knowing there's still a problem, how difficult is removing...

Thanks Bruce, just replied to my posting over at NCWW. I didn't create an additional "Help me" post yet as I'm hoping to get some feedback in the first thread I created. But if you think I should...

Ok, so got around to realigning and retightening everything last night. Where I'm at now is - jam nut no longer rotates with hand wheel, but hand wheel is VERY difficult to turn, quite a bit of...

Thanks Lee. Had a work function until late last night and didn't get a chance to troubleshoot per your guidance. I will tonight though. Thought I tightened everything down but I'll go back through...

Guys - thanks so much for the help! Busy weekend but got the garage all cleaned up and now I'm just ready to get the saw working!

I've reuploaded my video to YouTube and hopefully we can all now...

Great, thanks guys. YouTube it is!

Trying to upload a video hosted on Vimeo to a post of mine so I can more accurately showcase the issue I'm having. When I use the "insert video" button I see the link inserted in my post, but when I...

Can't thank you enough for all your help Lee. I'll scour the internet to see what I can find for replacement part, and find a few local machine shops to call. I'll also ask tech support about the...

No I haven’t lubricated anything but will try that this weekend. Could you possibly give me a little direction in uploading videos? I’d really like for you to take a peek at the video as I think it...

So managed to get it almost centered...took it for a few spins and it still had a pretty hard sticking point. After I played around with the tilt wheel a little, I took a picture and the worm gear...

Got it Lee, thanks and will do. I assumed the old righty tighty lefty loosey too but I wasn't getting far with it. I was also working with a subpar adjustable wrench because I didn't have a standard...

Thanks Lee - so with the front nut, which direction loosens the nut? I was just out in the garage taking a crack at it, and I can't quite seem to get it loose. Not that it won't turn, just that...

Also - just to be certain, I don't need to worry about this interface between gear and worm shaft being a point of concern in terms of pressure/weight as I make the adjustment?

Concerning the saw, I haven't made the adjustment yet because I wanted to ask just a few more questions. ...

Thanks Lee - just contributed so I was able to see the schematic you posted. Perfect!

I'm now trying to edit my original post to upload my pictures, but my original post doesn't seem to have an...

Thanks Lee! Should all of the above be undertaken with trunnion brackets properly adjusted, bolts tightened, etc? Also - should I somehow be taking the force of the assembly's weight off the tilt...

Sure thing!

Lee - I actually have the original manual. I referenced it for the tear down, and read it when I got the saw for tips concerning adjustments and troubleshooting, but it didn’t have anything specific...

Thank you! So how do I go about adjusting the nut? Support the weight of the assembly while simply turning the nut? I’ve never adjusted an eccentric nut before, honesty no idea what it entails.

Wasn’t exactly sure where to post this, so please let me know if this question should be directed elsewhere!

I’ll try and keep this short and sweet and leave it to those of you with a bit more...
