SOLD
This needs to go find itself a Covington Saw before I decide to butcher it for other projects. This is an older version from a shop closeout, never been used but a generation older. Slight surface rust on the end of the feed rod, but threads look fine. Plugged in the motor and it seems to run fine. Looks like the newer versions have an auto-cutoff rod/switchbox, That should be easy enough to duplicate. $150 + shipping. |

It should work on many saws. It's an ingenious design. It worked great once I understood it. It has a clutch and will cut fast when not under a load and slow down when it is. I ruined the first clutch but got a free replacement from Covington (not the motor).

What size saw does it fit? yeah, I spent a bit trying to decipher Covington's site. the link is in the post above. They seem to suggest the kit is similar/same for the 1510 and 1100 series, but I'm just not sure? the Rod measures 18.25" from end to end.

yes. on the bottom of the picture and it attaches to the motor with a set screw. It doesn't attach anywhere else. My wife was pestering me about having a sign made to show where are house was. I bought one on Etsy and hired a handyman to install the sign (digging the hole, attaching the sign to a post and pouring concrete0. Something I would have done by self 25 years ago. I knew if I had a handyman out he could replace the clutch. I takes two people ;one to hold the motor (me). On my saw the access to the bolts was not easy and he better tools than me. It took less than an hour. All the parts shown there needed to be removed to do the replacement. The cross feed rod can be cut to length, not made longer.

oregon - Forgive my ignorance but what vice attaches to the item above? I have a 1510 that seven years ago came with a gravity feed which I took off and somehow seem to have lost all the parts to it.

I think it's just the stock factory vise on a rod. pictures are better the best I can do. Dug these from a few old threads.
My understanding is that the power feed just 'pushes' the vise for you. Cheers.

Thanks for that oregon. I looked around the site before posting my question and I don't see any replacement part for the top-down vice style (or the guide rail) shown in photo. I am interested in the piece you're selling but I need to think about it for a bit. |

I did find the replacement parts for what came with my saw but it's obviously a lot of money  Kicking myself for letting the get away - I packed it in a MFRB and had it in a shed at the family house we moved from a year ago. Folks living there now have done a lot of cleaning.  |

I imagine more small saw vises are in the landfill than on saws...
