It has to be a part that is just plain hard to find where you are located either side of the border, cost of shipping just sucks but just have to, suck it up, if you want it that badly.

Time you build a saw from parts you always have more into it than what a complete good running saw would cost but you get the fun out of finding the parts and then building it....LOL

Don't tell him that. Its a secret that every time I build a box saw....it costs more than just buying one! I like them better that way though.
