Isn't there a motor? :) Can't imagine there being so little back torque to do as you describe...not saying it isn't, but just hard for me to wrap head around any TS acting that way.

That was my backup plan. I screwed up mine forgetting that famous saying "lefty tighty - righty loosey". Man that arbor nut was on tight!

The old timers would tell me "if it won't turn, sometimes tightening it will get the bolt moving and it'll come loose." Guess they covered a stuck bolt and a reverse thread in one statement!

That reminds me of a story from the '50s. GE, I think it was, had a troubleshooting guide for their toasters. It said "If your toaster doesn't heat, try reversing the plug." Brilliant!

LOL I heard that! Several months ago, mmmm 1972 I worked in an automotive tire center part time while going to school. Those darn Chrysler products were the same way.

;~) Yeah. So back in the 60's there was a glue for school. Glass tapered bottle with a rubber application tip with a slit. Turn upside down push tip against the project and the crown tinted glue would uze out.
It was "mint" flavored. what???

My Craftsman and my Festool circular saws both have arbor locks, the Craftsman is probably 80's vintage. I would be surprised if any of the track saws don't have an arbor lock.

By any chance are you forgetting to put on the large washer between the nut and the blade?

Those are hand circ saws; the thread is about a TS...

And the washer facing in the proper direction?

Worse. Only half of them were on backwards.
Another of life's mysteries... Why do lathe specifications say, for example, 1-1/4" x 8TPI RH. Why would anyone want a left-hand spindle thread?

Not all of it. This sub-thread got off on circular saws.

Personally, I've never heard the term 'circular saws' applied to any stationary power tool. They're always handheld; granted Leon diverged from the thread, but that was, I'm sure, intentional.

I believe some lathes run backwards. But 99.99% of the time not.
Maybe the opposite side of the drive where you would turn a platter? Yeah on that side the chuck would unscrew when working and you would have a lot of leverage to loosen the chuck if it were RH threaded. I have never used that side of my lathe drive so it may very well be LH threaded. ;~)
