Need some guidance please. The center bolt (pivot) on my miter gauge for the table saw fell out. I cant find a picture to give me any reference as to how to replace it. any suggestions?

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

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.

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.

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