Shop update #426 (1-7-26)

My father helped me to assemble my new table saw a couple of weeks after I bought it. We spent all day putting it together and at the end of it, he gave me a good quality blade to use in it. I decided to use the stock blade for a while until I got used to the saw and then I would replace it with the good one. I ended up using the stock blade for over a year and it still worked great for pine but not so good for hardwoods. I finally decided to change it out but couldn’t find the 2 wrenches needed to take the old blade off. I put them somewhere so safe that couldn’t find them. I finally found one of them and used some scrap wood as a brace to take the old blade off.

I found the manual for the saw and discovered that there was only eve one wrench and that I had a push button lock for the arbor to use for removing and tightening the blade. The install was much easier once I gleaned that information.
