Hi folks. I didn’t expect this one to be too much of a refurb, I was under the impression I would just need a motor and a belt, but I need at least one other part and I’m hoping you could help me there. There is a screw that attaches the table to the oil pan that is missing. Where could I look to identify or replace that screw? Maybe it isn’t that particular? Secondly, the arbor seems to turn steady, but I’m wondering if it needs any grease? imgur.com/gallery/tEmZiaGThank you! Edit: it also looks like I could use a splash guard. I don’t suppose they have spares for sale anywhere? |

Looks like there's 4 screws total to hold table to pan, one missing. Take one out and go to a hardware store and buy a matching one. If you are talking about a splash guard at the front of the table, get a piece of clear plastic 1/8 inch or a little thicker about 3-4 inches high to mount to the table.

If you are lacking the blade guard that should extend over the top of the blade, it should be possible to fashion one using any concave curve (plastic bike fender or ??). I used a motorcycle fender on a slab saw but now realize that was a bit of overkill. A front shield as suggested by Quartz would be great too. I would use brass or stainless steel bolts for the saw table attachment to prevent electrolytic reaction with the aluminum. Or is it aluminum?

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like there isn’t any simple repository for me HP parts then, so that lets me know the situation.
For the screw I was worried that the shape of the head was particular and hard to matche at a hardware store, but it likely isn’t that bad. And for the splash guard I figured I would cut up some Tupperware to fashion one if I needed to. Sounds like I do!
