Chicago area. With limited woodworking skills used for rudimentary home improvements. Owner of an old Sears RAS which only has limited use and then only for cross cuts. Mostly because since getting this RAS, years ago, there has been sloppiness or play in the motor mount to the rail. I am fairly certain that the rail aka arm carriage support is the issue. I have looked at some posting and replacing the rail was only mentioned once. Which leads me to question if this is the likely culprit? If so why don't I hear more about replacing this part? Perhaps this model had a limited run, this is not a model with the adjustable bearings so I can't alter the bearings to fit the rail. Has anyone else had this problem and is replacing the arm carriage support the issue? I have broken down the arm and have isolated sloppiness to the interplay between the yoke mount and the rail. Perhaps I am answering my own question but thought I'd post it before ordering a $50 part. Thanks, hope I was clear and concise.
I have now added a diagram, it shows rollers different than the ones mentioned in this thread in that they are not adjustable. (I wish they were)
They are parts #2 and #35 there are 2 of each symmetrically located around the horizontal motor bolt #33. #2 is called a Ball Bearing .3150 I.D. and #35 Carriage Bearing. The model # of my Sears RAS is 113.198111. It doesn't seem to get as much coverage on the forums cause this RAS rail/slide doesn't look like the others.
Just looking for help, and thanks for all the replies so far.
