    Well, lets hope that will take care of your problem for a good long time. Maybe now you will be able to fall in love with your EX as much as the rest of us who have them. I would not let mine go for most anything. Well maybe for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. After I get my Hawk home tomorrow, I will have a new love affair. I hope so.

    Heck, I was going to suggest something but it seems that all you wizards have pretty much filled in all the blanks. What a great group.

    Good luck with getting the UPS driver to wait for you to open the box. Where I live, they just drop whatever on our porch and knock a couple of times. By the time we get to the door, the truck is pulling away.

    I think you will like the ease of how it works. It just is always there.

    And you call yourself a techy. I would prefer to have a flip phone but I'm forced to live in the 21st century by those around me. Sorry.

    There is a free app that you can put on your smartphone that does that. I have it on mine. It is super accurate. FREE!

    Thanks Les. It looks like I may be owning one of those saws if all goes well on Wednesday. I'll have to incorporate your idea. I look forward to trying the Hawk to see how I like it. I'm not sure where I'm going to put it yet.

    You are most welcome Les. By the way, you can move that yellow dot around to anywhere you want it. I have mine on the left side of my screen about 3 inches up from the taskbar. It never gets in the way there. Since I installed the program that Teachlearn suggested, it now lives up at the top left of my screen with just a tiny bit of it's launch pad showing.. So, I have two to choose from. Well, actually 3 with snipit.

    Kevin, since you are a "fixit" guy, how about taking that plate out and welding the hole closed and then drill and tap it with the same threads as the rod. I'll bet the rod is hardened and the plate isn't. It must have worn enough that it's not tight to the rod. Just thinking here. The jamb nut/washer under that plate are probably just there to keep the rod from ever pulling out by itself. I'm going by what I can see in your pics. I might be all wet but that's my thinking on it.

    I used to use that until I discovered Jing. It is so quick and easy and has features missing from the snip tool.

    The jamb nut is there to prevent the knob from loosening. Not to lock the adjustment screw. The fix will be down inside where the threaded rod actually raises and lowers the arm. I'm thinking that a nylon lock nut or some other friction device is either missing or worn out. A bit of tear down might be in order. The arm cover is easily removed and might expose the area in question. Not sure but I think it will be a fairly easy fix once the problem is discovered. I don't think blue LocTite is the answer. The rubber band will help but is not the real fix.

    For me, it's what I ate this morning. Getting worse too. I was typing something yesterday and had the word in my mind but when I got to the point where I wanted to put it, it was gone. Couldn't for the life of remember what that word was. I guess we are running low on RAM memory.

    No, I meant as in when they came on board with Windows 7. Never quite understood why they had to change the name. I was used to using folders and never did figure out "libraries" and their use.
  15. OCtoolguy
    I still don't know what "libraries" are.

    I will have to do that. My problem right now is that I'm trying desperately to learn Inkscape and I devote waaaaaay too much time to that instead of going out and actually cutting something for which this forum was named.

    I messed with Linux Ubuntu and it was ok. I just like the look/feel/familiarity of Windows programs. Just what I'm used to. I learned back when DOS was the thing and when Windows came along, I just gravitated to it.
  18. OCtoolguy
    I tried this software but I never really found a great use for it. I'm not into designing anything because I have zero imagination of my own. But, it is probably very good if you need this type of program.
  19. OCtoolguy
    That will probably never happen. The one and only software package I have ever purchased was Roboform back when you could buy it for life at $29.95. Now, it's $19.95 a year for each computer. My lifetime one is still good for my desktop machine. The absolute best password/login/i.d. keeper there is.

    Does that mean that your table will only tilt one way? I'm not understanding the situation at all. But, then again, there are a lot of situations that I don't understand lately.
  21. OCtoolguy
    Thanks for the great software suggestion. I just installed it and gave it a run. It works very well. I think I will like it and be using it often.
  22. OCtoolguy
    Another program that I use a lot for screen grabs is "Jing" from Techsmart. They also put out "Snagit" but you have to buy that one. Jing is free. I use it all the time. I am going to give your suggestion a try. It might be even better than Jing if it is faster. Thanks for your suggestion.

    What are crown boxes?

    I have only ordered from BW once. It took a couple of weeks to get part of my order because of backorder situation. The did finally ship the remainder but all in all, I think it was pretty close to a month to get it completed. I'll not be ordering from them again unless they have something that nobody else has. JMHO.

    It really does make a person appreciate the modern saws that we are all using. I'd hate to have to sit and pedal to get things cut. But, at the same time, I do love seeing how the people used to do the wonderful things they did with so little in the way of tools and equipment.
