Hello everyone,
It's been a while since I joined - not sure how long, but never had write privileges until yesterday/today. I've certainly done a lot of reading tho. I did read last nite that others had problems a while ago. Anyways, its one great site.
I have a Craftsman 274130, (Ryobi 3100 I've been told) and after all my reading, it is. Not used very much in 4 years, maybe less than a 100 hrs total. Mostly for house maintenance, minor projects and cobwebs.
I'm currently doing a cleaning and maintenance program on it. So a few questions.
1. Can I move the SMT to the right side for proper and safe use, the reason being is that I'm a recent right aka and the base is definitely a problem in my reach and balance.?
I'd be working from a stool or with my prosthetic on. I have thought of building a slider jig which might be better. Most of my future projects will be small, hobby type. Nothing that would require the big sheets.
2. My elevation crank is sticky tight, I have cleaned the interior and waxed the threads and spindle gears. Still tight. I did read a thread recently where the shims were replaced. Is there anyway to tell if they need replacing without taking it all apart?
Glenn.
