Help, missing "table Pin" on ridgid bandsaw - Woodworking Talk

daxinarian · 10-16-2009, 04:11 PM

I went out to use my bandsaw (ridgid bs1400) for the first time in a long time and I noticed that the alignment pin in the side of the table is missing. For some this might not be a big deal, but without that pin my table has a cosiderable warp across the blade removal slot. I have a metalworking lathe so I can just make a new one, but I have no idea of the dimensions since it is a tapered pin. Can anyone help me out?

$1.72 sounds great until you realize that they add $10.50 for shipping, and it takes a week or longer to get it. I can fire up the lathe and make a new part from some scrap steel and have it tonight (assuming I know what the tapper is).

Overall length:1 5/8"
Nose bevel: Approx 1/4" @45*
Taper Length: 1 1/4"
Taper OD(Small End): .315"
Taper OD(Big End): .350"
Hex End: .468" Hope this does it for you
This is on a Delta BS, but I'm pretty sure that the dims are the same.

By the way, I used to lose my pin, until I drilled a hole in it and the table and connected them with a piece of wire.
