new2woodwrk Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I just ordered a part for my Delta TS after Delta support sent me to these guys. They say they are a national distributor /supplier for several brands. http://leneavesupply.com/ After speaking with them and looking at their shop, they may be a new supplier for various parts and stuff. Also have you tried ereplacements.com? https://www.toolpartsdirect.com Hope one of those help Edited February 6, 2020 by new2woodwrk OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmcrafts Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I'm not really sure what saw you're using.. But I found Ray at Seyco was way cheaper then eReplacement parts was for those Thumb / Set screw kits.. I was using a DeWalt.. But the screws for the Excalibur are the same.. NOTE: if it's still the same way.. a "KIT" replaces both upper and lower.. funny but I didn't know that and wanted to replace both plus have a extra set on hand.. lest just say I on't need to order any for a very long time..LOL OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgiro Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 The thumb screws for the DW788, the Delta 40-694, Excalibur Ex-21/EX-16/EX-30 and the newer Excalibur step-children are all the same size. I would recommend upgrading to the Pegas clamps. They have them that fit the Delta and parts should be available for a long time.

kmmcrafts Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 You do know you can buy just the swivel ends right? Seyco sells just the swivel.. as long as the thread are in good shape you can just replace the tips.. IF the threads are worn... odds are the clamp head threads are weak too..and I'd suggest replacing it or adding a thread insert.. You may try roughing up the tips with sandpaper.. if that don't work.. You may also have spread the clamp head apart and new screws etc won't help that..
