Hi all, I have a older Rockwell 10″ Unisaw and I have been having problems with the Blade rase / lower locking knob. Generally when you tighten the knob it will lock the blade from lowering while using the saw.
It appers the lock knob or the mech in side has worn out. In the past I have replaced the lock knob but its very expensive around $80.00 from Delta. It appered to me the point has worn down? i don’t know what it press’s against inside the wheel assamble.
What I was wondering is, has anyone here had the same problem, if so what was your fix?
Thanks in advance.
Tony

When you tighten on the knob the screw bears on a short brass dowel -if that has worn it is an easy thing to fix.
However I'm just going from memory so if you have not got other help by tomorrow morning I can check mine out and give you a proper answer.
Anyway , just take it apart and all will be obvious-it's a very simple thing.
