  • You're supposed to know who your representative is, but I find that if you want others to do things you make it easier for them. These should have their constituents listed next to their names every time.

    Here are the 16 US House Representatives sorted by state and then by district:

    1. Arizona
    2. Ruben Gallego - 3rd congressional district
    3. Raúl M. Grijalva - 7th congressional district
    4. California
    5. Jimmy Gomez - 34th congressionial district
    6. Ted Lieu - 36th congressional district
    7. Katie Porter - 45th congressional district
    8. Eric Swalwell - 14th congressional district
    9. Kevin Mullin - 15th congressional district
    10. New Jersey
    11. Mikie Sherrill - 11th congressional district
    12. New York
    13. Jamaal Bowman - 16th congressional district
    14. Oregon
    15. Earl Blumenauer - 3rd congressional district
    16. Pennsylvania
    17. Dwight Evans - 3rd congressional district
    18. Texas
    19. Jasmine Crockett - 30th congressional district
    20. Lizzie Fletcher - 7th congressional district
    21. Henry Cuellar - 28th congressional district
    22. Virginia
    23. Jennifer Wexton - 10th congressional district
    24. Washington
    25. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez - 3rd congressional district

    To find more information about your representatives, you can visit the official House of Representatives website.

    Multiple edits later: I struggled to get the lists formatting and the sort of districts didn't work. You get the idea though. If you live in these states you should be asking questions of your representatives.

  • It's a fun little game!

  • Got the part in but my wife went into labor. We had a 8 lb 7 oz baby!

    Obviously this is going to delay the progress of this saw project.

    I did want to mention that the bent washer isn't very "bent". I'm going to figure out how to provide measurements once I can get to focus on this again.

    I promise I'll get y'all updates at some point.

  • Still waiting on the part.

    USPS says it should be here tomorrow (05/10/2024).

    I'm looking forward to using this thing for so many projects.

  • Still waiting on the part. USPS is late with the shipment.

    I won't let you down. I'll keep ya posted. Thanks again for all the help!

  • I am reluctantly ordering a single wave washer here for $9.76 if you include shipping:

    5140032-75 Washer, Curved, 10.1 X 17Mm - Dewalt®

    I checked all of my local hardware stores. I think Lowes usually has these, but they said their small parts vendor hasn't come to restock anything in a long time and they weren't sure when they would be coming back. All other hardware stores in my area didn't have them or staff wasn't very helpful.

    I will keep everyone updated. I hope this is the last part that I need to order online. I'll try to do a summary video when I'm done because I haven't found many that really get into this level of detail on repairing this specific issue online. I'm just glad I'm keeping this thing out of the dump and I hope to start using it soon so I can start to build and repair some stuff around the house. Super excited about building a French Cleat system in my shed.

  • I'm looking at this part of the diagram

    I'm noticing part 83 (Washer 5140032-75)

    That washer appears to be bent on purpose on the linked website for replacement parts and I'm guessing that it would keep the tension on the threaded dowel consistent. I think mine is missing or it was flattened out when someone torqued the mechanism.

    Upon further research that is a bowed washer, spring washer, curved washer or wave washer. Their purpose is to retain tension and it's likely the solution to my gears binding. More can be explained in this video: https://youtu.be/sG1gSQGZQl8?si=nQhzR2a8TZUwJ5rY

    That's another guess.

    Would like to get some guidance here.

  • Well, the screws were definitely over torqued, but it didn't fix the issue. I tried multiple methods to get one of the screws out but had to use a grinder and a flathead screwdriver to get it out.

    I think I may have an Idea what is causing the issue after looking at the gears after your advice.

    Since the clanky movement really only happens in one direction when the saw is on its side I figured it had something to do with the direction of the pressure being applied by the screw mechanism.

    When I put the table saw completely upside down and then tried to move the blade up and down it was very smooth.

    This led me to think that there might be some movement in the gears based on the pressure that's being applied. Watch this video to see what I'm talking about and you'll see a gap that closes when I go in one direction and opens back up in the other.

    You can see the movement of the gear at about the 1:04 mark in the video.

    Any advice?

  • Thank you!! I always appreciate learning something new.

  • Awesome.. Thanks. I know exactly what part you are talking about.

    Block 5140032-73

  • I'm attempting to learn what a shaft boss is so I can find it. Is there a part number on this exploded diagram that you can refer to?

    It may be in the 30s or 50s (if that helps you find it)

  • I don't think they are skipping. It gets smoother when I have the saw on it's side.
