Title: New Ex21K
Post by: Toneman on November 09, 2013, 09:21:39 am
Well, I stopped by Seyco yesterday to see if Ray had a used saw I could use for a backup. I have gotten so busy and cannot afford to have a breakdown and wait on parts or repairs. He had a few older models he had rebuilt, but, I made the mistake of asking about the new model and the special pricing, so, yes, I walked out with a new one! Now, going to put it together this morning and make some new dust with a new saw!
Of course my wife accused me of planning this the whole time! LOL!

This may not be the place to raise an issue I am having with my ex21. I am finding all of a sudden the knob that keeps the arm parallel to the saw bed is continually moving out of adjustment ,any clues?

They all move continually.  We found out when we had our saw sitting on the same table as the drill press. When the tension handle wasn't locked in place and we drilled, the vibration moved it slightly.

We adjusted the saw to a parallel position and took note of where the white indicator was.  Now it is easy for us to keep the saw into parallel. I suppose you could tape it or something like that to stop it from moving with regular vibration and that would work fine.

Keith and I realize that if we had it on an independent stand, it wouldn't be an issue (and it really isn't now that we are aware of it).  It is just something to watch.

The arm is supposed to stay parallel, so once it is adjusted you should not have to move it. You can tape it in place or use another mechanical holder to stop it from moving.
