Tsaylor:

[[Category:Policy]]The TidySpace policy is designed to make the “space” in “hackerspace” easier for everyone to use. It introduces a visual system of marking and tagging to indicate when something is out of place, and gives people tools to help keep things orderly. It relies on participation from every member, but is administered by area hosts and officers. It is, of course, to be executed alongside the [[Membership agreement | Pumping Station: One Membership Agreement]] and the overarching rule: “be excellent to each other.”

==History==

The policy was compiled by [[User:Colin | Colin]] from modified versions of policies used by i3 Detroit and TC Maker. It was first unofficially proposed to the PS:One board and membership in January 2013. At that point it underwent a series of contributions, tweaks, forks, and underground adoptions. Eventually it was brought to an official membership vote in June 2013. You can find the [[TidySpace Vote | original vote page here]].

==Elements of TidySpace==

Refer to the individual articles for all the details.

===Project Parking===

[[Project Parking]] policies are for projects that can't go into personal storage space, either because they're too big or too difficult to put away. Area hosts may issue parking permits and parking tickets at their discretion.

===Limbo===

[[Limbo]] is a scrapyard for things that might be useful to someone. Be sure to abide by the rules of Limbo.

===Lost and Found===

PS:One has a [[Lost and Found]] for personal items like coats, multitools, cell phones, etc.

===Wut Zones===

If you're not sure where something belongs, put it in the nearest [[Wut Zones | Wut Zone]]

===Worktables===

[[Worktables]] are designated by area hosts and should always be kept clear when not in use.

===Walkways===

[[Walkways]] are designated by area hosts and must always be kept free of obstructions.

===Area Hosts===

Each area in the space has an [[Area Hosts | Area Host]]. The TidySpace policies rely heavily on area host intervention, so it also allows them to recruit helpers as necessary.

== Use ==
For miter, bevel or combination cuts in wood only.

== Specs ==
Amps 15.0 amps, No Load Speed 4,000 rpm, Blade Diameter 12 ", Arbor Size 5/8 or 1 ", 90 Degree Cross Cut Capacity (Max. Height/Resulting Width) 3-7/8 / 4-1/8 ", 90 Degree Cross Cut Capacity (Max. Width/Resulting Height) 3-7/8 / 5-7/8 ", 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max. Height/Resulting Width) 3-7/8 / 4-1/8 ", 45 Miter Cut Capacity (Max. Width/Resulting Height) 5-1/2 / 2-1/2 ", Left 45 Degree Bevel Capacity (Max. Height/Resulting Width) 2-3/4 / 5-7/8 ", Left 45 Degree Bevel Capacity (Max. Width/Resulting Height) 7-7/8 / 1-3/4 ", Tool Weight 40.0 lbs

== Accessories ==
Crown molding stops 
Blade wrench, in a slot in the base. 
Manual

== Saftey ==
This is by no means all possible safety instructions, just a few that might not have been covered at certification. 
Unplug before changing the blade, there is a shaft lock button to assist. 
For cutting wood only, inspect your piece for metal, nails,broken screws staples etc. 
Move the movable portion of the fence before adjusting for a bevel cut. 
Hold or clamp your work securely, use particular caution when cutting round or odd shaped pieces. 
Do not cut if someone is behind the saw, pieces of wood can be thrown at high velocity. 
This is most common with small cutoffs and when lifting the blade from the cut before it has stopped. 

== List of Currently Certified Users ==
As this is essentially the same as the other miter saw I transferred, with host permission, the certification list. 
Feel free to recertify if you like.

==Rules==
# Do not move the machine ever.
# Never use the table as a work surface.
# Always have the dust collection on. Turn it on before you plug in the saw and off after you unplug the saw.
# Always check your material on the blade before you spin up the blade. If the light turns red, DO NOT CUT.
# Always check your wood for nails or staples. If you're not sure, check the entire piece with a magnet.
# If you break something, or damage the saw, contact the area host immediately. Don't let others do more damage or hurt themselves by using a broken tool.
# Always dust the entire machine when you are done. Also check the motor compartment after every use and vacuum out as needed.

==Blade Brake==
This saw is equipped with a safety feature that will (hopefully) stop the blade when it contacts something conductive-- like your hand. However, that means you normally can't cut conductive things with this saw or you will trigger the safety brake. This is good if it was your hand in the way, but it also destroys the sawblade and requires installation of a replacement part that costs $70+ every time. And the saw will be down until the replacement can be installed.

According to the owner's manual: "Conductive materials such as aluminum and other metals, carbon fiber materials, '''mirrored acrylic''', carbon-filled materials, etc. will typically '''cause the brake to activate'''." [Emphasis added.]

Other things that may trigger the brake include wet wood, and wood with embedded nails or staples. Lexan and green pressure-treated wood reportedly can also be a problem. That is why the rules instruct you to check your material on the side of the blade before spinning it up, and to check your wood for nails or staples!

==Notes==
* There's an m8 hole drilled and tapped in the mitre gauge. The post from a magnetic base of our dial indicators thread in. The post may require a spacer so the threads don't stick out (use a stack of washers or a larger-than-m8 nut).
* The right hand table adjusting screw was bent while aligning the table. The table was aligned without it. Aligning the arbor tilt axis will be *really tough* without a replacement. (Part #11 in the cabinet and table exploded diagram in the manual p98)
* The rear rip fence rail has places to put 4 countersunk allen bolts. The left hand bolt screwed into the main table was too long and made contact with an internal table part (probably the rear trunion). It probably pushed the table out of alignment and caused binding while re-aligning the table. That bolt was left out. Don't replace it!

== '''NEVER CUT THESE MATERIALS''' ==

*'''PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride):''' Also known as '''"vinyl"''' '''"pleather"''' or '''"artificial leather."''' Most adhesive vinyl shelf paper (e.g. Con-Tact Paper) also is PVC. Emits pure chlorine gas when cut! Don't ever cut this material as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system.
*'''Polycarbonate:''' Also known as '''"Lexan."''' Polycarbonate is also often found as flat, sheet material. The case cover window on the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation! This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate can also emit flame and chlorine gas when cut, making it a poor choice for laser cutting.
*'''ABS:''' ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt). Finally, ABS emits cyanide when cut.
*'''HDPE:''' "milk bottle" plastic. It melts. It gets gooey. It catches on fire. Don't use it.
*'''PolyStyrene Foam:''' It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!
*'''Fiberglass:''' It's a mix of two materials that can't be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)
*'''Coated Carbon Fiber:''' Again, it's a mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying. However, once coated with epoxy it will emit noxious fumes.

==Safe Materials==
The laser can cut or etch. The materials that the laser can cut materials like wood, paper, cork, and some kinds of plastics. Etching can be done on almost anything, wood, cardboard, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, marble, stone, tile, and glass.
*Cutting
**Many woods up to 1/4" thick. Composite woods like plywood contain glue, and may not laser cut as well as solid wood. Engineered woods like MDF are okay to use but may experience a higher amount of charring when cut. Be very careful about cutting oily woods, or very resinous woods as they also may catch fire.
**Paper cuts very very well on the laser cutter, and also very quickly. Thin paper and single layer card stock and cardboard are perfectly OK. Thicker cardboard, carton, and other papers also cut very well but need to be watched to make sure they don't catch fire.
**Cork cuts nicely, but the quality of the cut depends on the thickness and quality of the cork. Engineered cork has a lot of glue in it, and may not cut as well. Cork thicker than 1/4" should be avoided.
**Acrylic (also known as Lucite, Plexiglas, PMMA) cuts extremely well on the laser cutter, leaving a beautifully polished edge. With care, acrylic material up to 1/2" thick can be cut on the laser cutter.
**Delrin (POM) in thin sheets does cut. Delrin comes in a number of shore strengths (hardness) and the harder delrin tends to work better. Great for gears!
**Kapton tape (Polyimide) : Works well, in thin sheets and strips like tape. 1/16" thick is about as thick as you can cut reliably.
**Mylar : Works well if it's thin. Once you get too far past 1/16" thick mylar has a tendency to warp, bubble, and curl. Gold coated mylar will not work.
**Solid Styrene : Smokes a lot when cut, but can be cut. Keep it thin (1/16")
**Depron foam: Used a lot for hobby, RC aircraft, architectural models, and toys. 1/4" cuts nicely, with a smooth edge. Must be constantly monitored when cutting.
**Gator foam: foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard paper shell. Not a fantastic thing to cut, but it can be cut if watched.
**Cloth (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton, polyester, but NEVER vinyl or pleather-- see above) They all cut well. Leather is very hard to cut, but can be if it's thinner than a belt (call it 1/8")
**Magnetic Sheet material cuts beautifully
**NON-CHLORINE containing rubber is fine for cutting.
**Teflon (PTFE) in thin sheets
**Carbon fiber mats/weave that has not yet had epoxy applied can be cut, very slowly. You must not cut carbon fiber that has been coated!!
*Etching
All the above can be etched, in some cases very deeply. In addition, you can etch:
**Glass (green seems to work best) .. looks sandblasted. Only FLAT GLASS can be engraved in our cutter. No round or cylindrical items.
**Ceramic tile
**Anodized aluminum ( vaporizes the anodization away )
**Painted/coated metals ( vaporizes the paint away )
**Stone : Marble, Granite, Soapstone, Onyx. Gets a white "textured" look when etched
*Marking
There expensive coating called 'cermark'. This marking compound costs $100 for a small bottle, and must be diluted with ethanol and applied to metal (not ceramics or stone) before being etched to leave behind a permanent dark black mark.

**Gator foam: foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard paper shell. Not a fantastic thing to cut, but it can be cut if watched.
**Cloth (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton, polyester, but NEVER vinyl or pleather-- see above) They all cut well. Leather is very hard to cut, but can be if it's thinner than a belt (call it 1/8")
**Magnetic Sheet material cuts beautifully
**NON-CHLORINE containing rubber is fine for cutting.
**Teflon (PTFE) in thin sheets
**Carbon fiber mats/weave that has not yet had epoxy applied can be cut, very slowly. You must not cut carbon fiber that has been coated!!
*Etching
All the above can be etched, in some cases very deeply. In addition, you can etch:
**Glass (green seems to work best) .. looks sandblasted. Only FLAT GLASS can be engraved in our cutter. No round or cylindrical items.
**Ceramic tile
**Anodized aluminum ( vaporizes the anodization away )
**Painted/coated metals ( vaporizes the paint away )
**Stone : Marble, Granite, Soapstone, Onyx. Gets a white "textured" look when etched
*Marking
There expensive coating called 'cermark'. This marking compound costs $100 for a small bottle, and must be diluted with ethanol and applied to metal (not ceramics or stone) before being etched to leave behind a permanent dark black mark.

Cleaning the optics: http://www.epiloglaser.com/tl_clean_optics.htm

== '''NEVER CUT THESE MATERIALS''' ==

*'''PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride):''' Also known as '''"vinyl"''' '''"pleather"''' or '''"artificial leather."''' Most adhesive vinyl shelf paper (e.g. Con-Tact Paper) also is PVC. Emits pure chlorine gas when cut! Don't ever cut this material as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system.
*'''Polycarbonate:''' Also known as '''"Lexan."''' Polycarbonate is also often found as flat, sheet material. The case cover window on the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation! This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate can also emit flame and chlorine gas when cut, making it a poor choice for laser cutting.
*'''ABS:''' ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt). Finally, ABS emits cyanide when cut.
*'''HDPE:''' "milk bottle" plastic. It melts. It gets gooey. It catches on fire. Don't use it.
*'''PolyStyrene Foam:''' It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!
*'''Fiberglass:''' It's a mix of two materials that can't be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)
*'''Coated Carbon Fiber:''' Again, it's a mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying. However, once coated with epoxy it will emit noxious fumes.

==Safe Materials==
The laser can cut or etch. The materials that the laser can cut materials like wood, paper, cork, and some kinds of plastics. Etching can be done on almost anything, wood, cardboard, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, marble, stone, tile, and glass.
*Cutting
**Many woods up to 1/4" thick. Composite woods like plywood contain glue, and may not laser cut as well as solid wood. Engineered woods like MDF are okay to use but may experience a higher amount of charring when cut. Be very careful about cutting oily woods, or very resinous woods as they also may catch fire.
**Paper cuts very very well on the laser cutter, and also very quickly. Thin paper and single layer card stock and cardboard are perfectly OK. Thicker cardboard, carton, and other papers also cut very well but need to be watched to make sure they don't catch fire.
**Cork cuts nicely, but the quality of the cut depends on the thickness and quality of the cork. Engineered cork has a lot of glue in it, and may not cut as well. Cork thicker than 1/4" should be avoided.
**Acrylic (also known as Lucite, Plexiglas, PMMA) cuts extremely well on the laser cutter, leaving a beautifully polished edge. With care, acrylic material up to 1/2" thick can be cut on the laser cutter.
**Delrin (POM) in thin sheets does cut. Delrin comes in a number of shore strengths (hardness) and the harder delrin tends to work better. Great for gears!
**Kapton tape (Polyimide) : Works well, in thin sheets and strips like tape. 1/16" thick is about as thick as you can cut reliably.
**Mylar : Works well if it's thin. Once you get too far past 1/16" thick mylar has a tendency to warp, bubble, and curl. Gold coated mylar will not work.
**Solid Styrene : Smokes a lot when cut, but can be cut. Keep it thin (1/16")
**Depron foam: Used a lot for hobby, RC aircraft, architectural models, and toys. 1/4" cuts nicely, with a smooth edge. Must be constantly monitored when cutting.
**Gator foam: foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard paper shell. Not a fantastic thing to cut, but it can be cut if watched.
**Cloth (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton, polyester, but NEVER vinyl or pleather-- see above) They all cut well. Leather is very hard to cut, but can be if it's thinner than a belt (call it 1/8")
**Magnetic Sheet material cuts beautifully
**NON-CHLORINE containing rubber is fine for cutting.
**Teflon (PTFE) in thin sheets
**Carbon fiber mats/weave that has not yet had epoxy applied can be cut, very slowly. You must not cut carbon fiber that has been coated!!
*Etching
All the above can be etched, in some cases very deeply. In addition, you can etch:
**Glass (green seems to work best) .. looks sandblasted. Only FLAT GLASS can be engraved in our cutter. No round or cylindrical items.
**Ceramic tile
**Anodized aluminum ( vaporizes the anodization away )
**Painted/coated metals ( vaporizes the paint away )
**Stone : Marble, Granite, Soapstone, Onyx. Gets a white "textured" look when etched
*Marking
There expensive coating called 'cermark'. This marking compound costs $100 for a small bottle, and must be diluted with ethanol and applied to metal (not ceramics or stone) before being etched to leave behind a permanent dark black mark.

[[Laser Cutter Instructions and Workflow]]

[[Laser cutter reservation system]]

== '''NEVER CUT THESE MATERIALS''' ==

*'''PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride):''' Also known as '''"vinyl"''' '''"pleather"''' or '''"artificial leather."''' Most adhesive vinyl shelf paper (e.g. Con-Tact Paper) also is PVC. Emits pure chlorine gas when cut! Don't ever cut this material as it will ruin the optics, cause the metal of the machine to corrode, and ruin the motion control system.
*'''Polycarbonate:''' Also known as '''"Lexan."''' Polycarbonate is also often found as flat, sheet material. The case cover window on the laser cutter is made of Polycarbonate because polycarbonate strongly absorbs infrared radiation! This is the frequency of light the laser cutter uses to cut materials, so it is very ineffective at cutting polycarbonate. Polycarbonate can also emit flame and chlorine gas when cut, making it a poor choice for laser cutting.
*'''ABS:''' ABS does not cut well in a laser cutter. It tends to melt rather than vaporize, and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid. It also does not engrave well (again, tends to melt). Finally, ABS emits cyanide when cut.
*'''HDPE:''' "milk bottle" plastic. It melts. It gets gooey. It catches on fire. Don't use it.
*'''PolyStyrene Foam:''' It catches fire, it melts, and only thin pieces cut. This is the #1 material that causes laser fires!!!
*'''Fiberglass:''' It's a mix of two materials that can't be cut. Glass (etch, no cut) and epoxy resin (fumes)
*'''Coated Carbon Fiber:''' Again, it's a mix of two materials. Thin carbon fiber mat can be cut, with some fraying. However, once coated with epoxy it will emit noxious fumes.

==Safe Materials==
The laser can cut or etch. The materials that the laser can cut materials like wood, paper, cork, and some kinds of plastics. Etching can be done on almost anything, wood, cardboard, aluminum, stainless steel, plastic, marble, stone, tile, and glass.
*Cutting
**Many woods up to 1/4" thick. Composite woods like plywood contain glue, and may not laser cut as well as solid wood. Engineered woods like MDF are okay to use but may experience a higher amount of charring when cut. Be very careful about cutting oily woods, or very resinous woods as they also may catch fire.
**Paper cuts very very well on the laser cutter, and also very quickly. Thin paper and single layer card stock and cardboard are perfectly OK. Thicker cardboard, carton, and other papers also cut very well but need to be watched to make sure they don't catch fire.
**Cork cuts nicely, but the quality of the cut depends on the thickness and quality of the cork. Engineered cork has a lot of glue in it, and may not cut as well. Cork thicker than 1/4" should be avoided.
**Acrylic (also known as Lucite, Plexiglas, PMMA) cuts extremely well on the laser cutter, leaving a beautifully polished edge. With care, acrylic material up to 1/2" thick can be cut on the laser cutter.
**Delrin (POM) in thin sheets does cut. Delrin comes in a number of shore strengths (hardness) and the harder delrin tends to work better. Great for gears!
**Kapton tape (Polyimide) : Works well, in thin sheets and strips like tape. 1/16" thick is about as thick as you can cut reliably.
**Mylar : Works well if it's thin. Once you get too far past 1/16" thick mylar has a tendency to warp, bubble, and curl. Gold coated mylar will not work.
**Solid Styrene : Smokes a lot when cut, but can be cut. Keep it thin (1/16")
**Depron foam: Used a lot for hobby, RC aircraft, architectural models, and toys. 1/4" cuts nicely, with a smooth edge. Must be constantly monitored when cutting.
**Gator foam: foam core gets burned and eaten away compared to the top and bottom hard paper shell. Not a fantastic thing to cut, but it can be cut if watched.
**Cloth (leather, suede, felt, hemp, cotton, polyester, but NEVER vinyl or pleather-- see above) They all cut well. Leather is very hard to cut, but can be if it's thinner than a belt (call it 1/8")
**Magnetic Sheet material cuts beautifully
**NON-CHLORINE containing rubber is fine for cutting.
**Teflon (PTFE) in thin sheets
**Carbon fiber mats/weave that has not yet had epoxy applied can be cut, very slowly. You must not cut carbon fiber that has been coated!!
*Etching
All the above can be etched, in some cases very deeply. In addition, you can etch:
**Glass (green seems to work best) .. looks sandblasted. Only FLAT GLASS can be engraved in our cutter. No round or cylindrical items.
**Ceramic tile
**Anodized aluminum ( vaporizes the anodization away )
**Painted/coated metals ( vaporizes the paint away )
**Stone : Marble, Granite, Soapstone, Onyx. Gets a white "textured" look when etched
*Marking
There expensive coating called 'cermark'. This marking compound costs $100 for a small bottle, and must be diluted with ethanol and applied to metal (not ceramics or stone) before being etched to leave behind a permanent dark black mark.

3519 Electrical Work

2013-06-26T04:10:28Z

Tsaylor:

'''Eric Stein's working on getting quotes from electrican(s) to get this work done.'''

==Woodshop==

Reel drops at sawstop, and multiple at each table row.
Sawstop + dust manager need more power.

==Electronics==

1. The ceiling extension cord in the electronics lab needs to be replaced with surface wiring. Three boxes spaced where the retractable drops are located. Do reel drops. '''Not going to do this, Tom says it's fine'''.

2. Since we are doing electrical we also need addition outlets on the opposite side of the ceiling in front of the the projection wall and white boards. I would suggest additional 3 outlet boxes spaced the same as the surface wiring to replace the yellow extension cord. Same drops as the other part of the room.

==Kitchen==

GHCI outlet by sink.
Fix bent electrical drop from ceiling.

==Lounge==

Fix exposed wiring, which there is now more of.
Outlets as needed to solve the extension cords issue.

==Metal Shop==

The circuit that goes along the shop side of the shop (wood, metal) with the really long conduit, is one circuit. It trips sometimes if people are using everything.

Run a new circuit from the panel inside the shop, run power off of there. Shorten the wood shop circuit so it doesn't extend to metal.

==General Shop Area==

Fix drops that are not on stiff supports or use the wrong kind of conduit. Where there are no drops, we should add some.
Everything should be metered to avoid having 220 where it's not supposed to be 220 and vice versa.
Fix breaker boxes to be properly screwed shut.
Map breakers.

=== 5 Seconds ===
Pumping Station: One is a playground for the mind.

=== 30 Seconds ===
Pumping Station: One, NFP, is a space to facilitate creativity in and through the merging of art, technology, and culture. Members enjoy a diverse community of peers to collaborate with, classes and workshops on subjects from electronics and programming to welding and home beer brewing, and 24-hour access to a huge variety of tools, equipment, and resources for just about any project imaginable.

=== 1-2 Minutes ===
Pumping Station: One, NFP, is a playground for the mind - a space to facilitate creativity in and through the merging of art, technology, and culture. Pumping Station: One (PS:One) was named in honor of one of the few buildings to survive the great Chicago fire, and in the spirit of that monument to the City's tenacity, PS:One aims to promote and inspire a new generation of innovators.

Chicago's pioneer in the international hacker space movement, PS:One offers members 24-hour access to a constantly expanding inventory of equipment and resources; a loft, coding lounge, and DJ booth, all designed and built by members; and a casual but motivated atmosphere. With classes in subjects from electronics and programming to welding and home beer brewing, workshops with prominent guest speakers, constructive relationships with other hacker groups around the world, and open conversation around new and developing technologies, members can learn about digital logic one evening, teach a class on building guitars the next, and spend the weekend helping to create an 8-foot working Tetris wall while discussing plans to implement green technology in the space.

Pumping Station: One is located at 3354 N. Elston Ave in Chicago, Illinois. To learn more, visit www.pumpingstationone.org, or contact press@pumpingstationone.org. This is an Illinois Not-For-Profit organization, now fiscally sponsored by The School Factory.

==Rules==
# Do not move the machine ever.
# Never use the table as a work surface.
# Always have the dust collection on. Turn it on before you plug in the saw and off after you unplug the saw.
# Always check your material on the blade before you spin up the blade. If the light turns red, DO NOT CUT.
# Always check your wood for nails or staples. If you're not sure, check the entire piece with a magnet.
# If you break something, or damage the saw, contact the area host immediately. Don't let others do more damage or hurt themselves by using a broken tool.
# Always dust the entire machine when you are done. Also check the motor compartment after every use and vacuum out as needed.

==Notes==
* There's an m8 hole drilled and tapped in the mitre gauge. The post from a magnetic base of our dial indicators thread in. The post may require a spacer so the threads don't stick out (use a stack of washers or a larger-than-m8 nut).
* The right hand table adjusting screw was bent while aligning the table. The table was aligned without it. Aligning the arbor tilt axis will be *really tough* without a replacement. (Part #11 in the cabinet and table exploded diagram in the manual p98)
* The rear rip fence rail has places to put 4 countersunk allen bolts. The left hand bolt screwed into the main table was too long and made contact with an internal table part (probably the rear trunion). It probably pushed the table out of alignment and caused binding while re-aligning the table. That bolt was left out. Don't replace it!
