Mastercraft Tablesaw pole locking hardware

thingiverse

I bought this table saw and its stand was missing a crucial component. The company was happy to send out a replacement right away, but I didn't want to wait for it to arrive before assembling the thing. Maybe this info will be useful to someone else if they lose or break one of these parts someday. It needs to be assembled with an M6 x 50mm hex bolt and a matching M6 hex nut (non-locking). You can make assembly easier by gluing the nut into the thumbscrew part, but be sure that the glue doesn't fill up the gap where the bolt fits. A good option is to use a strong adhesive like PL Premium or Gorilla Glue. This stand was designed for Mastercraft model 055-6742-8, but it might work with other models too. The thumbscrew part is slightly larger than the original one to accommodate the nut.
