Yes, plenty of power and loud, sounds like a jet taking off...
The only info I could find on anything Sher, was that back in the day Skill bought them out.
And no luck contacting them either, no reply.

"havabeer 69" suggested that little turn bolt might be a height adjustment stop, so I went and had another suss at it yesterday and loosened it right off, turned on the saw cut some scrap and sure enough it had dropped about 10mm, set the blade again, tightened that turn bolt and the blade stayed set.
Cheers for that @havabeer 69

Thanks mate,
Bill.

gotta take the good guesses with the bad. there was nothing for locking on the height adjust handwheel which is why I thought it might be that.

I still think that something (like an allen key) is going to go in the end of arbor and its possibly been rounded over or chewed out

Good guess, mate, really appreciate all your help.👍🏽

I just bought a second hand one of these myself, and on first impressions, I'm happy with the saw. Ran some old red gum posts through it at full depth of cut and it didn't skip a beat. I can't see how a riving knife or a splitter would be fitted...it doesn't look like there's anywhere for it to be screwed on to. Did you have any luck finding a manual?

G'day Belgravebkack
I've only just got you message now.
Do you have the original throat plate?
If you do you'll see there's a cutout at the very rear of it for the diving knife, splitter to fit, and I you take a look back behind and below a little to the left of the blade, you should see a small threaded hole in the cast iron.
I'm assuming that this is where it would be mounted?
Which also means it's a fixed unit and doesn't move with the blade, and probably why it's been removed.
I'm going to make some different sized ones (height wise) from old saw blades and make some more throat plates from wood and fix the splitter to the underside of the new plates👍🏽
And, no, unfortunately no manual as yet.
