Did tell you. Any chance you could post a photo of the power disconnect setup, at the rear of the head unit? The switch & arm setup which disconnects power to the motor when the bow drops.

Sure. I think I got the pictures you need.

Think my saw is a 6x6. Apparently they go up to 12x12. Will have to find one of them.

My mum thought my Fobco was part of the lathe - I wondered why she was so calm, even encouraging when I showed her. When she found out however that another machine had entered the castle... well, that wasn’t a good day!

Single man's mistake. Any married bloke would know to keep their trap shut & let the woman keep thinking that.

Bow/cut tension, I believe. Can't recall the setup exactly offhand though. I have a photo of the setup somewhere. I'll dig it out.
