Table Saw Blade won't Tighten

Mine will (the wonders of electronics) but uses a set screw on the spindle to keep the threads threaded.

The backside of mine is threaded the opposite direction, I think. Some people think of everything. ;-)

Dumbass. There isn't any thread on the opposite side. The headstock gets moved to the other end for platters. An extension bed is needed (which I don't have).

Some glues are VERY edible. At one time, some glues were made using egg whites. (Ever notice how sticky they are when you crack an egg and it gets on your fingers?)

They might still be used.

I've seen it work--tightening the bolt works to get it moving then turning it the other way removes it.

It's a good practice to leave gate valves "closed" about a 1/8 turn. i.e. not opened to the full stop. Valves like the main water shutoff for your house or any other gate valve that is seldom used.

If you need to turn it off and it won't move, you've got some room to open it just a little more to free it up. Sometimes a little back and forth wiggle does the trick, but you need some room on both sides of the wiggle.

The glass tapered bottle with the tip with a slit was "mucilage". It was in my experience utter crap. However it was not toxic.

The "school glue" today is typically some kind of casein based "white glue"--in other words it's derived from milk or if not derived from anymore has the same chemistry as.

Soooooo when I was in elementary school, 1st grade, I have it on good authority that "Paste" was eatable. ;~)

Yes! That was it!

Yes that absolutely works especially if the nut/bolt is kind'a rusted in place.

But some times if you are not thinking, you don't know which way is tightening and which is loosening.

So if it will not turn in the direction you first tried, trying in the other direction is essentially tightening and then loosening or visa versa. You end up doing both. ;~)

LOL I did the run and check right before I answered. Mine, a Jet, has an internally treadled shaft on the left side of the assembly. It is left hand threaded but it is internally/female threaded.

I thought the white glue was good. Somewhat of a minty taste.

Wasn't paste just flour and water?

Flour + water + alum =
