Modifying my mill,084 going on it

[Rail-O-Matic]

I want to change the way the saw is attached to my carriage.Question I have is;How do the bar mounting studs come out of the 084? I want to extend them and use this for the rear mount,I think it will make the whole set up a lot more solid.
I just don't want to pull the studs and find out that I ruined the case.Thanks, Mark

All you need to do to extend things is, leave the studs as they are and make up two threaded spacers/long nuts that fit between the saw and whatever implement you are going to attach the saw to, bolt the spacer/nut to the saw and then can bolt the carriage to the same threads in the spacers.

Stud Extenders

If I understand what you want to do correctly, these might also work:

Basically that is what I am doing.

Are you saying that stud has 10mm threads for the bar nut and a 10mm collar? The studs on my 084 have 10mm threads for the bar nut but the collars are larger. If this works it may be handy info in the future.

Yes...

But as the others point out, make surer you oiler and bar tail works for you.
