Quizz : what's the purpose of this new tool ?

Christophe,

That is a cool idea and so well made. Amazing that Scheppach didn't include some form of a blade height lock. I like the "what's the purpose of this new tool ?" tool posting in the Forum. We may find a new purpose for the tool in question.

Thanks Christophe! I've added your Table Saw Adjusting Wheel Brake to our Table Saws category, as well as to your builder page: Christophe Mineau's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:

Cool tool! I was going to say that the magnet may be too weak, but you did explain that it's actually an advantage in that you can fine tune the position of the handwheel.

That is one cool, good looking,e practical device. The principal could come in handy elsewhere.
