Hi Something has gone wrong and the vise is barely being pushed along the feed rod. I thought maybe it was the gear box motor do I bought a new one but it still is doing the same thing. Then I noticed a spring dangling off the back of the vise (on the bottom). When I look at the parts illustrated list, I see a spring located under the "half nut" part that the rod sits on. Also the lever has no tension to it so I'm thinking that the spring came off and ended up in the back? Any ideas about how and where the spring is attached under the feed rod? Thanks!

The spring on the ls10 went from the split screw arm to a brass slack adjustment bolt if I remember correctly. The HP Lapidary saw is still pretty much a direct copy, see

I've helped more than a few saws who's bolts have fallen out into the primordial soup, good to have a tight stopper nut on that. good luck.

gary95340: Hello, I read the Jasper Point post, 2009. I am part owner of the KAREN LYNN claim. It’s located in Hunters Valley. It’s a Jasper load claim. To my knowledge it is illegal to collect rocks in the Lake McClure area, owned by MID. Jasper Point is in MID Dec 7, 2024 23:57:23 GMT -5

gary95340: New to this, I haven’t a clue on posting. I have about 1 ton of jasper, various sizes. Dec 8, 2024 0:02:13 GMT -5

gary95340: Jasper point is a geographic location easily located on a topographical map. It obtained its name, because Jasper was mined there at the time of the railroad. I visited the site by boat during the end of the last drought. Dec 8, 2024 0:08:15 GMT -5

amygdule: I like Jasper

Maybe you can post some pictures here

Rockoonz: gary95340 post on the forum in the introductions, if you ask the question there we can help you get started posting with either the cloudinary for PC or the tapatalk app for apple/android. Not sure if it's even possible to post pics in the shout-box. Dec 10, 2024 11:17:30 GMT -5
