Bolt Wanted

Do me a favour:

If you have a power saw and the bolt for the blade is reverse thread (screws in anticlockwise) can you please take it out and measure the diameter of it. Also if it is for a 250 mm blad, measure the length of it for me, please.

I am still looking for a bolt for my Boschmann chop saw. I think it is copied from a Makita but anything that will fit will save me a few bob. I tried looking on uk.rec.cars.misc and had quite a bit of help.

is a last ditch thing, as I want to stop falling over the bloody thing maybe even take it to work.

One way or another it has got to go. I am getting seriously pissed off with it.

Loading thread data ...

Firstly what has the length of the screw got to do with the diamteter of the blade?

Take the whole shebang to a local tool hire shop and ask the fitter to look through his bucket of bolts and old machinery for one that will fit

It's winning you know......They do that Sir, especially when you aren't looking.

=============================== Get a small wax crayon and wind it into the thread. Take your wax pattern to a specialist fastener stockist - find in Yellow pages.

Alternatively measure the thread you've cut in the wax crayon with a thread pitch gauge:

a short length of round bar and a suitable lefthand thread die:

a nut on to the end of the threaded rod you've created.

If the saw is similar they may in fact be the same, in which case I can order a reverse thread, 8 mm Xxxita bolt that is xx mm long and it will be the right size for my Boschmann.

I thought that was obvious, sorry.

had a local tool and timber merchant send off for a part for a Makita. The part number is 265355-2 if anyone ever needs to know.
