Thanks, but I already got photos from a guy who has his apart, and they
almost cleared up the mystery. The one detail I missed was that the
screw is fixed to the table at ONE end, only. And, this rotating nut
setup I have is not from the same BOSS model as he has. It has a funny
bracket on it, and a much larger belt pulley. But, I can make it work!
