the lever for the blade guard on a circular saw i picked up was broken, and the replacement part was discontinued/unavailable, so i printed a replacement from the piece that remained and some online photos.

replacement

the part wasn't available anywhere. well, that's not strictly true. i did find the part listed for $99 somewhere. i had the piece that connected to the saw for reference and a sears parts site had photos, so making my own seemed more reasonable.

i had to master printing supports to deal with the slight overhang, so it was a learning opportunity, as well.
