Chop! Chop!

I would imagine it would turn anti clockwise ie the opposite to the roatation of the blade?

These saw blades are put on with a drill type tool and you will have to crack the tension,probably with a *impact driver*

It's always nice to meet someone who knows less than me. However in your case I will make that an exception as I have just sheared the bolt.

So that's =A330 quid down the sawannee if I can find someone to tap it out. And another =A320 or =A330 for the new blade.

Good here innit?

I must say I am sigularly unimpressed with the quality of steel use dint eh manufacture of the bolt. I would have thought it could take a little more stress than I gave it with the odd angle and poor purchase I had on it.

And to think if I had been born of monkeys I could have made it to President!

Hey! listen jerk,don't go blaming me for your inconceivable hamfistedness in not knowing how much force to hit the head of the impact driver(if you did do it that way?)on a certain sized nut/screw.

It worked for me on a Taiwan effort chop saw which was proving a bugger to shift the nut.

Generally - and luckily - the opposite direction to the rotation of the blade. Which means you can allow the teeth of the blade to bite into scrap to hold it still.

it is usually easy to tell. just imagine that if the saw turned as it usually does, but there was a spanner on the nut, then the nut would get tighter, therefore the average saw has a standard type thread, so undo it by turning anti clockwise.

Who buys a Boschmann chop saw?

Don't top post.

You have been warned!

I saw a chop saw in Aldi for about =A365 -with a draw arm on it too but it was 240v.

I went to B&Q and found a new blade for mine is going to cost me =A345. This bloody 110volt nonsense is a bloody con.

He didn't.

I never said he did. The self righteous bs got up my nose and I didn't have time to be clever.

Assuming that you are the only Weatherlawyer (not sure about this as sometimes your posts make some sort of vague sense), are you allowed to use power tools?
