Tilt locker

Mastercabman,

Thank you for asking those questions.  Hopefully you will get a response. 

This thread has "evolved" enough.  So if others want to post contrary to the original idea of the post which was about a member having questions about a device designed by a member to address a situation that he was having, start a thread in an appropriate board.

Thank you for your understanding.

If you go out and take your rail, saw, and stop set them up you will notice that the stop actually catches the base of the saw.  and the stop does not need to be tight to hold it.  My clip just holds the stop in that position,  It does so by the force of 4ea 5#magnets epoxied in the base.  The key to the clip is actually the profile and the end"nub" that keeps the magnets from sliding off the clip.  The magnets never actually contact the clip and the saw is held by the stop. 

If anyone has access to a stamping machine and can make a die I will give the prototype and rights for $1 per unit sold.

OK, But when you cut a bevel,do you rely on that stop to hold the saw ? Or is it just to hold the saw before and after the cut?  Like a kick stand?

Charimon made a nice lock for the tilt of the machine, is anyone making these already?

I don't know if its still allowed to post in this topic.
I think it might fit to to this topic.

But, i also had a bit of trouble to push the TS55 forward when its in 45 degree bevelmode, so i attached a modified MFT-SP (488 030) knop to the front of the sawrest.
Thats keeps the saw stabil for me with the bevel cut. And its easyer than holding the sawfoot plate.
Now the hole that fits a M6 bolt finaly have a function, cos i always wondered why the foot of the saw had 2 M6 bolt fitting cut out in it.
