I got mine from my local Woodcraft store. I wouln't want to be without it. It makes changing blades a lot easier.

Woodcraft store is where I got mine as well. If you are not near one you can order it on line.

I'm also looking for the arm lift. I went to the Woodcraft website and couldn't find it. Could someone post a link. I did find it at the Jim Dandy website but you can't order it on the web, you have to call.

Jim Dandy Products: Products is probably what youve found. I couldnt find it on Rockler, or Woodcraft sites. I would call Jim Dandy, they are great folks to deal with,and they ship quick and dont rob you on shipping and handling fees, like Wildwood Designs likes to do.

Don't laugh too hard, it works, is fully adjustable, and I had all the stuff already laying around

Just a hook in the joist above, a piece of small chain, and a bungee cord.

I just got mine within the last month and went through the same problem. It is not listed on Woodcraft's website so I called and spoke to customer service who directed me to the nearest store 100 miles away. They did not have one but could have one sent from Jacksonville, FL (I'm in NH). I was able to order one through Wildwood Designs for a dollar or two less and got it fairly quickly. Shipping was a little high at $8.95, but ordered a few other items which made it worth it.

All,

Thanks for the replies, I will contact them directly to purchase one.

Don't you just hate paying nearly half the cost of a product to have it shipped to you by a "supplier"

Scotti - I like your idea as well simple and "do-able" at no cost with in house materials
