Shopsmith Safety Grip (505625)
Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2014 5:50 pm
My Miter Gauge is all back together using the Incra V120.
I had no problem getting it reassembled but I did have to use a flat washer to eliminate the unwanted wobble.
Yes, JPG, if the post is not screwed down tight in the large aluminum block there will be some unwanted movement. That is not the movement, however, that brought this discussion to surface.
The movement that I found objectionable was the handle (the grip) wobbling on the small aluminum block.
The hold down mechanism is "loosey goosey" no matter what and it needs to be that way.

One side is flush while the other side needs a flat washer.
This video shows how much tighter the Safety Grip is after adding that single flat washer. I regret not doing this a long time ago when I first received the V120 from Shopsmith.
