Dewalt radial armsaw

[wheelchairal]

Hi, does any one know where I can get the plastic threaded insert riser for a Dewalt dw1201/ or the dw320 radial arm saw,please, it's the piece inside the riser tube that when the handle is turned the height of the blade is adjusted, I bought the machine 2 weeks ago and riser seemed ok,then the arm dropped,when I took it apart the thread's had sheared inside the plastic unit,

rather a large number are unavailable now but maybe the part you need is still available otherwise you will need to make one.

Hi yes its number 29

Maybe talk to DW to see if parts from a more modern saw might fit or be adapted to yours?
Either that of pick up another one scrapped for another reason and make 1 good machine out of two?
