The arm that holds the sliding arm on the tablesaw had developed quite a bit of play and was sagging a lot. Previous owner had sorted it with copious amounts of spacers to take up the slack. The cause was that the arm was made of a box section with too thin walls where the axle had ovalised the hole. Mads tigged a piece of tubing in as reinforcement and then soldered in two smaller pieces of tubing to act as bushings.
