The elevator on my Ridgid R4512 table saw all of the sudden broke on me. It turns out that the gears needed a little cleaning, sure, but the main problem was that the turn crank slipped out of alignment and wasn't making contact with the gear that drove the elevator. I found a lock washer that had popped off, put that back where it was supposed to go, and removed an old washer that had warped out of shape.

I have a few other videos for this table saw if you're interested:
