Here you can see the hinged wheel block leaning back and resting on that bit of pine.

Drilled and reamed a slotted hole for the long coach bolt that come through from the front.
The slot allows the bolt to move through the arc of the hinged wheel block.

For now this will do to adjust the blade tracking, later on I’ll make a star knob with a T-nut.
