    Default Anyone got a spare Blade Height Winder WCA390

    Anyone got one of these laying around or a spare they don't need, trying to find one as adjusting the blade is becoming a royal PITA

    i checked that a week ago and it didnt work, checked again today and still doesnt work. i guess they pulled it from their site

    I guess plan b would be to make my own and sell them online since they are so hard to find

    Do you want the full kit or just a replacement winder handle?

    Well if you can make the frame you can get the specialised bits here:
    Tool Spares Online. Blade Height Winder

    or from Dennis Leverett who is often cheaper for postage:
    https://www.tritontools.uk.com/index.html

    I note the whole kit is still available from some UK shops, but it may cost an arm and two legs to post it.

    I have a workcentre 2000 so i would need the full cit but not a replacement tray.

    looking at the schematics i can probably build the uframe out of aluminium extrusion, the tricky bit would be the winder assembly but rather than a leadscrew i can probably use some threaded rod. trickiest lart would probably be drilling and tapping the end of the rod so i can screw in a bolt with an allen key head so i can access it from the top of the saw

    once im back in the office i can 3d print all of the other bits

    would make a fun project, but it would be a hell of a lot easier if i had one that i could measure and copy rather than doing it all by trial and error, Ha!

    Good morning.

    If you can send an email to bob.vankempen at me dot com I'll send you the dimensions in the next day or so (just need to go down the workshop and do some measuring).

    All the best

    Default Height Winder - Update

    Good afternoon all

    I realised I had already taken some photos and dimensions of the height winder assembly. I've attached the document for anyone who needs them and happy to take more pictures/measurements if needed.

    All the best
