I have never seen an original Inca circle cutting jig but I did make my own.

Seems to work ok!

Oops sorry BM. Didn’t see that and just measured mine.

 

[HamsterJam]

@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

Thanks for that @HamsterJam sorry to bother you but, Could you edit your post please to change the pictures from thumbnails to full sized pictures, the forum has a wonderful bug where thumbnails do not render

so this is all I see.
this has been reported and the answer was to post as Full image

Did that work?

@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.

Yep - looks like there are duplicates
Should be ten unique pictures.

Excellenyt HJ. Saved me a job.

The 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.

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 ok

No, not that bit. I have that. I talking about the rail that the rip fence slides along.

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.

I've only ever cut metal accidentally on mine, but I guess it could work with the right blade.

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.

 

[Bm101]

When I started out (as opposed to still starting out ) I bought an evolution rage scm saw John. One hundred nicker with stand included and a multi material blade on it. Good job too because on my first angled cut i took part of the base off lol. Great saw for the money but when a guy local to me offered a far better saw at a good price I bit his finger off. When I went to pick it up I noticed he'd done the same. 'Ahh... I see you've nicked the frame there. Easy to do I suppose.'
Didn't tell him I'd also done it of course.

Thank you. Appreciated MM. Wishful thinking I suppose to try and defeat my wonky hacksaw skills. Oh well.

Might be doable if you have a belt drive version. Or VFD? I think my motors under 0.5 kW.

I dunno John, MusicMan's word is good enough for my amateur hour experience to take heed. I don't cut enough blanks for it to be an issue either way.
