That " Bolt" is actually the back side of the rise & fall pivot mechanism. You can just see the little circlip fitted on the end of the pivoting shaft in my picture......There is no idler pulley fitted on these type of Startrite saws.

Depending on the age of your saw, it's highly likely the bolt heads, thread sizes and Allen bolt heads are all Imperial sizes. If you haven't got any Imperial sized sockets, spanners or Allen keys, I would suggest you buy some before attempting to dismantle or adjust anything further on the...

The adjustment mechanism on the TA 145 and the TA 165 saws is the same but the TA 175 and TA 275 is different. It depends on which model you have....Looking at the fence on your saw, I think yours may be a TA165, in which case you will need to just slacken the Allen headed bolts that locate the...

That lower pulley looks like its jammed up with sawdust! Without the blade on, it's not whining like it was in your original video but it definitely sounds like there is bearing noise. I'd be more inclined to think it's the upper bearings on the blade arbor rather than the motor bearings...

The motor does appear to be the same as the original motor fitted to this model of Startrite saw......My guess is, it was refurbished at some point in its life and painted in the blue colour....Originally, it would have been green, in a similar colour to the saw itself....

Hi Dave, The bars do look similar, I admit......But the Rail Joining bars are much thinner than the MFT joining bars and they are not alloy, they are galvanized steel, the same material for both sets of joining bars. I also have the rail joining bars myself....

Here you go Blister..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Festool-484455-MFT-Table-Connector/dp/B002YMAQIS I'm not sure if one is enough or whether you would need two for rigidity....

Yes, you can! There is a connector system that Festool make that allows two MFT tables to be bolted together. It fits between the side extrusions and is for this specific purpose.

Boris,.....How many teeth are on that blade..? The blade should be about 9" or 235mm in diameter......based on this size blade, and if you're planning on cutting solid timber, you dont want more than about a 40 tooth blade....

Can you take a picture of the blade...? How many teeth does that blade have...?

How many teeth are on that saw blade...? From what I can see in your video, it looks as though the teeth look black and therefore blunt or in dire need of a clean. The whine sounds more like blade resonance than a bearing noise.... Can you show us the cut you made on that bit of wood..? And...

I turn off & unplug everything in my workshop after working in there....The only thing that's left powered up is the Alarm system and even that has a battery back up.... I know people who leave tool batteries on charge overnight.....They must be mad taking that sort of risk!

Reading this thread has prompted me to dig out my old Parkinson Perfect 15 Vise. It has been stuck in a corner of my home workshop for a good few years now, waiting to be cleaned etc. A customer of mine gave it to me many years ago at which time , I'd never heard of Parkinson's Vise's.....!! I...

I've had a pair of the UJK rail clips since they first became available and tend to use them more than the Festool Rail Hinge.... However, due to the regular use, one of the clips became loose in the plastic section that slides into the rail and was constantly pulling apart everytime I lifted or...

Yes,...The motor mounting plate is offset from the centre of the motor arbor....Rotating the motor on its mount, tightens or slackens the belt tension.

Have you slackened the fixings that give you the motor & belt tension adjustability...?

I'm in that area....PM me Robin if you think I could help.... Tim.
