[Rockhounds] HP 10" saw

[Wes Lingerfelt]

The wire is used under the rock vise as a slide base. Insert the 90 degree 
bend into the table top through the hole and run the rock vise back and 
forth on it. This is a standard device on certain models of this saw. Some 
models had a 90 degree bend on both ends to insert into the table top under 
the vice. Some had a hole on the edge and a hole in the top just big enough 
for the wire to be inserted.
Check it out.
