Caveat to Yankee carpetbaggers:

If you do settle in the South and bear children, don't think we will accept
them as Southerners. After all, if the cat had kittens in the oven, we
wouldn't call 'em biscuits.

I've got a Skilsaw 5250 with a cracked "upper guard assembly".
The "upper guard assembly" is the piece that goes over the top of the
blade and attaches to the handle.
The broken place is at the back where the screw goes through from the
blade height adjustment from the foot assembly.

Web searches show it as 'unavailble' and a couple calls to Skil say
'obsolete' (and no longer available).
They say that no others interchange.

I've got three Skilsaws. They work fine for my needs. I'm not slamming
Skil in particular.
Oddly, all three model's covers look the same except for the labels and
paint jobs.

Reason for my rant - what the heck can be obsolete about a saw part?
You can add a laser, change the color, whatever, but it's still a motor, a
plate, and a sharp thing that goes roundy-roundy.

That's like having to junk a car instead of changing the oil filter.

Off my soap box.
