It didn't even take 2 Euro's to get 20 new M6x30 bolts. All parts were ready to be assembled and all went well until we came to the nuts underneath the lifting/tilting bracket. It took a few hours, all kinds of tools, tape, and a few #**%+$$'s if you know what I mean, but finally I managed to get it all sorted out, I thought.

| 
I didn't know at the time why there were nuts on one side of the connection bolts for the tilting/lifting bracket. After I put it on all became clear. | 
|  | 
| 
The last hole I had to drill was the one that lines up the saw blade... I didn't do it exactly right as I would find out later.  | 
|  | 
| 
It wouldn't be until I fitted everything in, that I realized I didn't router out enough for the adjusting clip (above on the picture) it should be able to move a bit (a millimeter) to the right....  | 
|  | 
| 
Photo taken from the other side. As you can see, there's room in the clip to move a bit back.... if I only had routed out a few millimeter more...  | 
|  | 
| 
The result of that missing millimeter...  | 
|  | 
| 
Getting the blade 90 degrees vertical wasn't that much work. There's a special bolt in the tilting bracket that is adjustable.  | 
|  | 
| 
Instead of 68 millimeter, the height of the blade is now 63, the loss for making a better top. I certainly can live with that. | 
Question now is; do I take the whole thing apart again to router out that 1 millimeter, or am I just going to try it with a chisel....(at place that's hard to reach). I will sleep om it....
