I have been given a 1980's Startrite saw (similar to a Brobo Saw) for nothing because the vice is broken/worn rendering the whole machine useless, pictures of the actual machine to follow. The machine itself is really quite good although it has suffered more from abuse than anything else where inexperienced operators that did not set the depth stop for the head properly. The saw blade was allowed to partially cut into the vice jaws to a point where one jaw casting was weakened so much that it broke and the other jaw is almost ready to go. The twin screw and nuts are also stripped.
The old screw with the partially complete new screw. The old one was made out of mild steel, the new version is 4140.

Cutting the right hand 28 x 5mm Trapezoidal on my Colchester Master, it was a pleasure to cut on this machine despite what some people say about them, very user friendly.
