    Need a new elevation/tilt crank

    I went too long without cleaning the inside of the saw. Raising the blade has been difficult, but since I'm in the middle of a large project, I pushed forward. I finally broke the crank.

    I know others have replaced it; some with a stronger crank (maybe one from the Craftsman version). I've search the forum to no avail. What are my options for replacing it?

    Thanks.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

        Thanks for the offer Pat. I think I'm going to go with the beefier Craftsman crank. If it doesn't work out, I'll take you up on the offer!

        Thanks again.

          Thanks Loring. I sometimes forget about the FAQs.
