Dewalt DW708 Miter Saw – Depth Stop broken

My dad gave me his old miter saw. The depth stop is broken off. It’s a Dewalt DW708. The replacement part is about the most integral piece of the whole tool, and costs almost as much as a brand new saw.

 

Does anyone have tips on ways I could fix the saw to do a dado cut without the missing part?

 

Thanks!

Do you have the part that broke off? You could try using JB weld.

Drill a hole, tap it out, put a bolt in.
