Thanks. I took heed of your warning, got myself back in the workshop this eve and retrieved offending article. Apart from the fact that I lost almost a whole days work today fixing the saw at least I've now got it fully up and running and tuned it up a bit better in the process.I would suggest you ensure that nut ain't still in there, that could end up being costly, the motors on the Kitty machines are, as far as I know, unique (for want of a better word)
