Tools & Materials
Can't bevel your saw blade? You might need a new bevel adjustent handle. The bevel handle attaches to the bevel lock on your table saw. It allows you to engage and release the bevel lock. The bevel handle can be broken off if it is struck by a board or something smashes into it during transport. The inner hub on the handle is notched to engage with the nut. After years of use, the notches may wear away, causing the handle to slip.
