fixed guard lift on older Bosch SCMS - Wild Turkey - 06-17-2021
My Bosch 3915 SCMS developed a real hitch when I tried to lower saw -- bar that lifting bearing rode on was worn/pushed down until bearing couldn't ride it and lift guard. I had to use thumb of right hand to push guard up a little to get it past the hole and get it up out of the way.
Yesterday I got fed up and took rail off and ran a MIG bead along the top. Took three or four passes (with MIG turned down almost all the way) to get it built up enough, then I quenched it in water to harden it and used my belt sander to smooth and shape it.
Works SOOOOO much better!

I was asked to look at a Bosch CMS a couple years ago by our local High School shop teacher that was having a similar problem.
Here is a link to the fix I came up with. Same idea without the need for a welder.
