Now my curiosity really has ahold of me. Do you think it broke due to years of wear or maybe being adjusted a little too tightly on clampdown?

Just a though I had is all.

I am pretty sure it is from years of wear. I have had it many years and it has seen an extreme amount of board feet of lumber. It has been as awesome table saw which is why I tried so hard to fix it.

And fix it you did.

That's cool!! I'm glad you got it fixed & ready to rip again!!
