Parott1 Report post Posted August 27, 2020 Does anyone know where I can find the drop down guide for a cb4500 with a flat edge guide? The only guides I can seem to find come with the roller edge. My machine isn’t predrilled for the drop down guide, so I need to drill holes as well. Is there an after market knob that will work with the lifting mechanism since the stock one is kind of bulky? thank you Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joon1911 Report post Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Uwe also sells an edge guide that comes with both the roller and flat edge guide. It’s the same one I use made by Kwok Hing https://uwe.store/collections/edge-guides/products/ug441k-edge-guide-kit Edited August 27, 2020 by Joon1911 Typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted August 27, 2020 I made a simple bracket to attach the edge guide using the existing holes as I couldn't see the point in drilling extra holes. My edge guides came with a small fitting to replace the roller and provide a straight edge, although it's pretty short. Didn't yours have this? I also made a lifter extension, like Uwe's, but found it was a nuisance to use, so I made up a lever system to use a left-foot-operated lever. As Cowboy Bob said it is easier to use (given the heavy springs in the 441 machines). I've posted photos in assorted threads. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
