Beautiful day today with actual time in the shop. I got a lot done--BUT I ended on a sour note. I did some bevel cuts, then went to return the blade to 90. Halfway back, it just stopped. Sounds like something snapped, but I don't see anything. I somehow got it back to 90 and checked it. Now, I can got 90 to 45 with no problems. I can raise the blade with no problems, but I can't lower it. I took the panel off, looked at everything. Everything looks good, no dust buildup, bevel gears turn fine, everything turns great going up, but going down is a huge chore. Nothing looks jammed on the elevation rod/sleeve thing. I keep it lubed with parafin wax. I didn't spend a ton of time on it. I'll look at it again tomorrow. It's got to be something obvious I am missing.
Just ranting, hopefully I will get it tomorrow.
