I found this on the floor of my garage shop. Next to my Unisaw…....(which I built all the surface areas, extensions and legs for,,,,,,,,so I don’t think it came from the saw), It was also kinda laying between my big Delta Dust Collector and the saw and my router table, (which I built also. I have absolutely no idea as to what it is or how it got on the floor in the middle of my garage shop. And I don’t want to chuck it cuz 2 days later I will find out it is a critical part of something. I am kinda nervous that it vibrated loose from one of my machines and I want to be careful. It is about 3 1/2×3 1/2 inches by a 1/4 inch (strong) thick. Cast pot metal. Anybody ????? |

“Muffler bearing for an overhead rotary girder” Now that’s just silly. Everyone knows that overhead rotary girders don’t use bearings on their mufflers. They use sleeve valves! Bill |

Could be part of a ratchet clamp. Just saw how big it is. I’d sure find out what it is from before I use any of my equipment. -- A positive attitude will take you much further than positive thinking ever will. |

Get a look up inside the saw cabinet. Might be some sort of spacer that hangs with the open end in a downward fashion? Somehow it got “bumped” up and fell out maybe? -- Perform A Random Act Of Kindness Today ... Pay It Forward |
