The down side of free stuff is when you have to replace it, just TRY and find
that model!


Yeah, I'm still trying to locate worm gears for the old Wilton 4x6
saur I got. I should get tires while I'm at it, and by then, I'll be
up to the price of a new HF 4x6. Hmmm...


O.K. First question: "saur" -- sort for "dinosaur" to indicate
the age, or just a creative spelling of "saw"?

Second -- does the Wilton 4x6 actually *have* tires? The import
one which I have from MSC has a cast iron wheel with a flange and a
groove to clear the set of the 1/2" blade teeth -- no tire. I thought
that all of the 4x6 saws were like this.

Enjoy,
DoN.
