I doubled checked the owner's manual and it is Part #43. If you are interested, the owner's manual is available online as a PDF and the schematics are very clear. Yes, the SEARSPARTSDIRECT site pictures are fuzzy.

I haven't heard anything or received anything yet. I didn't even receive acknowledgement that they received the receipts that I submitted....but didn't really expect to.

The original Sears part number is 6527 E-Ring. Picture looks like it is not flat. Saw model number is 113.298240

It just holds the arbor housing which does not spin. It is a belt drive contractor saw. I'll find the Sears part number so you can see it.

That's what I thought. The replacement I found was a hair thinner....maybe if it were the same thickness it would have kept the arbor a bit tighter.

I wasn't familiar with the term Wave washer so I did a search. Based on the description and diagram I found it seems more like a Bowed washer than a Wave Washer. The Sears parts diagram just lists it as an E clip. To me it looked concave.

Update. Tthe new clip fit but because it wasn't concave it didn't exert the same pressure on the arbor and the blade wasn't in the same position as it had been with the original clip. This became apparent when the blade would scrape against the zero clearance table saw insert. I thought it...

Aha! Your explanation makes sense to me. Thank You for your time and patience.

Is D1 the value that should be used to determine TS?

I'm just trying to understand the logic. I understand the physics. What I'm trying to do is understand the calibration logic. Hopefully Treeman's explanation will fix my brain cramp.

Are you saying 1. Set wrench to 100 foot pounds 2. Mark spot 12 inches (1 foot) from center of ratchet 3. Hang 100 lb weight at the 12 inch (1 foot) spot 4. Wrench should click if it is accurate Similar for the 200 foot pounds. This part I get.....I don't get the calibration calculation logic.

On the wrenches I have the entire handle moves when it is being set to the desired torque value. What is confusing me is taking a measurement before the handle is turned to set the torque value. This measurement would decrease as the handle is turned. Do all click style torque wrenches work...

I have a couple of click type torque wrenches ( 1/4" and 3/8") and have watched a lot of Youtube videos on testing their accuracy and calibration. I'm having a problem understanding the calibration logic. Specifically, the first measurement is made from the wrench head to a point on the handle...

Delta Drill Press Mortising attachment. Bought it when HD was dropping Delta. When I went to use it I found it didn't fit my drill press model.

The new one works. The Sears parts diagram lists it at 3/4". The replacement I bought at a hardware store is 3/4".....the exact size but seems a hair thinner than the original. I'm wondering if the Sears part was designed to be concave to add more pressure. When installed I can rotate both...
