Woodturner, have you considered repair by putting a threaded insert in it?
That would resolve your confusing part number issues and also give you a better than new bracket since the lifting hole would now have a steel thread that would wear much better. If you don't know of or haven't tried this I can locate links describing in detail where the user fixed it himself or took it to an auto repair machine shop and had it done for little money. Involves drilling out the hole and putting in the bushing.Loring in Katy, TX USA
If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

I tried the helicoil type and the full threaded insert like a timesert, but neither lasted very long. I bought this saw used, and it's possible the previous owner's repair attempts damaged or weakened the casting.--------------------------------------------------

Yes, after our earlier discussion, I put a threaded insert in it. Over time, however, the threaded insert worked loose. It appeared that the walls of the aluminum "boss" or "tube" were too thin to hold the larger diameter threads required for the threaded insert.

A few years ago I did purchase a couple of BT3100's when I found them on craigslist for about $50 each. Two, within weeks of each other. I basically sold/gave away/recycled all the non-moving parts and held onto the moving ones, figuring I'd be able to use the parts to fix my daily driver.
But now I'm wondering if that will work.
Once you post pictures I'll dig that stuff out and see if I have anything that will help you.👍 1Comment

Pictures of the motor end cap
The attached pictures show the end cap I need. The only numbers on the casting itself are shown in the first picture - "P 969" in the upper recess and "9 6" in the lower recess. The stripped "boss" is in the top of picture 1, in a side view.
Edit: The picture attachment didn't work, trying to figure out why...Last edited by woodturner; 10-07-2012, 01:11 PM.--------------------------------------------------

Trying again to attach pictures
The attached pictures show the end cap I need. The only numbers on the casting itself are shown in the picture on the right below - "P 969" in the upper recess and "9 6" in the lower recess. The stripped "boss" is on left in the left picture and you can sort of see the stripped threads. The boss is on the top in the right picture, in a side view.--------------------------------------------------
