dennis123 Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Rocky, Where did you find the round knob on your upper blade clamp? I've never been able to find one. The wing-bolt tightener that came with my Hawk (and several spares that I've bought) kill my fingers. I'd love to get hold of round one like in your pic.

Dennis I had old worn and cracked wing type for my old saw when I first got it.. I went to the local hardware and they had replacements real cheap.. but they was round.. Funny how everyone has a different preference.. I don't like the round ones and like the wing style better.. Anyway.. check your local hardware store take an old one with you so they can match up the threads.. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful about what you do though because knobs that are of different weight can cause or increase vibration. I did find that out on my Dewalt when I made some wooden pieces that went over the tee handles. I epoxyed them on and never gave any thought to the increased weight or the possible difference between the upper and lower knob weights.

Dennis ACE is the place. Kevin already gave the answer. I even replaced the knobs on the blade holders. I just like the feel of the round knobs, OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
