collinb Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It's a nice unit. Got it a few weeks ago. But as I do so often the excitement of a nice piece of hardware distracted me from investigating parts availability. Looking for three things. (1) It only has one of the three fence rods. Would like to get the other two. (2) The easiest thing will probably be one of those indexing locking knobs for locking the depth limit rod in place. It currently has a hex head bolt in that position. (3) A 5-inch gas spring. For this I'm going to check out some alternative automotive & other supply sources. Any thoughts?

wtnhighlander Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I don't know about the fence rods, but gas springs are all over Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Grizzly has the parts. And the gas springs look to be no more than on Amazon. Plus, one shipping source cuts costs. Tx. Plus, I couldn't tell if those 5.xx" that extend to 7.xx" were really the right specs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collinb Posted June 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Got in the parts from Grizzly yesterday. Then set about to add sacrificial pieces. Should serve me well the rest of my woodworking life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
