    Souce for quick stop eccentric for sliding miter?

    Ok, thanks to you fellas, I found the M&D website and got a batch of parts ordered for my venerable 1992 vintage BT3000

    One part was not available there. The little flip up eccentric that allows quick positioning of the miter fence. Mine busted a couple of years ago. Thanks to the accurate degree guage of the sliding table, I have gotten along OK. But it would be nice to fix.

    Any clues as to a source?

    Anyone have a ruined assembly laying around?

    I will post in the want adds area too.

    Thanks.....

    those things are brittle and break easily if you slam the miter fence into it by accident. Your's is not the first to be broken.

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

      Long ago somebody reported drilling a hole in a nickel and doing a little grinding on the rim to make a replacement. Didn't take much labor, and the price for parts was . . . well, five cents!
