Hi all.

I've broken the steel component that holds the blade in place (under considerable tension) in the frame of my rather nice mitre saw. The saw is old, so I doubt I can get a spare and am assuming it'll be expensive to get the part machined.
I can see how I could configure it with enough strength to hold the blade in place using nuts and bolts, but I would need nuts that will join two bolts together at right angles and a nut like a t-junction (but not a tee nut - that's actually climbing related!) that will hold three bolts together.

I assume, possibly incorrectly that such things exist, but can somebody tell me what they're called please and where the hell I could buy some?

Cheers for your help.

Tom

Not sure exactly what you're after without pictures, but you may need to get a block of metal and drill and tap it yourself. Not difficult if you have the tools...

In reply to Tom Last:

Get the welder out

In reply to markAut:

Cheers both, but yeah, not really got the tools for welding or tapping steel. Wood I'm okay with, metal less so. Cheers!

In reply to Oceanrower:



Actually though, I think I might go with this and get somebody to weld the thing back in place for me, then I can just stick any old bolt through to hold the actual blade.

Cheers all, sorted.
