Brand? Has it got a name on it? Brand of saw?

So you have the screw but need to know how to install it?

Is this a trick question?

I apologize gentlemen I thought I put Delta in the header but alas not.  I don't have the screw, it was lost in the sawdust. I found one at ereplacementparts  and it has threads on one end but I can't see any threads in the miter gauge or the guide bar.
 
As far as I can tell it is part number 185 in the schematic but as usual it is not very clear.
any thoughts will help at this point
Thanks

I just took my Delta gauge apart to clean and tune it. The pivot bolt was difficult to remove until I realized there was a set screw too! 

It is a shoulder bolt, with a much smaller diameter threaded section than the size of the shoulder. 

On mine, the bolt actually threaded into the protractor part.

don't use your miter gauge . You asked ....... I have never used mine . On my sliding table yes . On saw no . Find out what thread it is . 97% of the battle.



If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.

Take a large magnet in your hand and pass it back and forth in the saw dust to locate the missing screw.

What he said.

I keep a magnet on a stick handy for just such situations.
