JV, More great info. However, the link isn't working for me. Maybe it's just me? I do plan on fabricating a blade brush/scraper/wiper. If I'm imagining this correctly, the swarf would basically act like mini hammer strikes against the guide rollers. The largest down side I can imagine is that I'll lose some blade rigidity as the "scraper" would need to exist just in front of the rollers. Not that big of a deal, as far as I can?imagine.? As far as the drip pan goes. Great point on the horizontal drip. I hadn't thought of that aspect of the project. Furthermore, the electrical components of the motor, switch, lines, etc, need to be considered. This will present an interesting opportunity for some real red neck engineering as the motor does swing below the original pan horizontal plane. Perhaps a "drip deflection pan"? I'll have to play all those scenarios out once the saw is back in one piece. (It is currently in about 150.) I had planned on rewiring the motor, buying a new switch, etc. anyway.? Robert, GREAT point. Once the new cam followers come in, I'll see if they indeed are hollow and will either press some brass plugs, or perhaps, find some screws that fit the thread. Worse case, a dab of JB weld. I'm only kind of joking about the JB weld. :) Thanks for the thought provoking input to you all! Great community you have here. I'm glad I was directed ya'll's way! Merry Christmas! Darren
