Oops sorry BM. Didn’t see that and just measured mine.I'll be in the shed tomorrow I'll do what I can for the measurements Sww.
@Bm101 and @HamsterJam You both have got the piece that went missing so measurements of it would be great, length isn’t important but thickness and width if the faces are, it is almost certainly a metric piece so millimetre measurements are probably better, thanks
if you can also get an impression of the end that is down on the bench @Bm101 (or table @HamsterJam ) that has the small slots where it fits onto the mitre gauge. Maybe charcoal on the face then pressed onto paper might work for that

@HamsterJam Yes thanks, though I think (haven’t checked all yet) that you may have put several in more than once I’ve just come in from the shop and checking in my phone.Did that work?
Yep - looks like there are duplicates@HamsterJam Yes thanks, though I think (haven’t checked all yet) that you may have put several in more than once I’ve just come in from the shop and checking in my phone.
It’s a complex aluminium casting and @Bm101 has a picture in this thread, it’s only useful if your stock is thin enough that the guides need to be very near the table. You don’t need an unequal angle regular angle it perfectly okThe part I don't have is the aluminium angle that the tip fence connects to. When I bought the saw it had a piece of angle that had been botched into service, and I have since made a slightly better one, but I can't find any unequal angle of an appropriate size. I would be grateful for the exact dimensions of the proper part. Although I'm thinking that I could maybe find something a bit too high, and use spacers between the underside of the table and the angle.
No, not that bit. I have that. I talking about the rail that the rip fence slides along.It’s a complex aluminium casting and @Bm101 has a picture in this thread, it’s only useful if your stock is thin enough that the guides need to be very near the table.

I've only ever cut metal accidentally on mine, but I guess it could work with the right blade.I'm in for the evening John but I'll measure mine tomorrow.
While we're on the riding the crest of the Inca wave, does anyone cut metal on their saw? I'm talking up to 4mm unhardened O1 flat stock. I'm prepared to buy another blade and it woud be for straight cuts, very gentle curves possibly.
Thank you. Appreciated MM. Wishful thinking I suppose to try and defeat my wonky hacksaw skills. Oh well.It goes too fast for metal, really need half the speed. Might be OK on aluminium with care, but I think it would be far too dangerous on steel.
Might be doable if you have a belt drive version. Or VFD? I think my motors under 0.5 kW.It goes too fast for metal, really need half the speed. Might be OK on aluminium with care, but I think it would be far too dangerous on steel.
