Greg,

Frank makes an excellent recommendation here about the flange/nut combo to
hold the blade on. When I got mine from WoodWorkers Warehouse ($20) it was
in a package with Delta's name on it. When I sold the CS, I kept it since
it fits on my Jet too. Get one, it's one of those things you'll buy and say
"Why in the hell did I wait so long to get this". Makes life easier and one
of Delta's better ideas.

Get one of the outboard flange nut combination accessories. They are
delightful.

OK - I get it now. A combined nut and flange. I was actually
surprised that the UniSaw didn't COME with one. I thought the older
saws did, and I know of an old Delta contractor saw that did.
Big, heavy, hardened steel flanged nut. Dollar a dozen at the
aviation surplus yard, but not with those flat threads...

No Greg, once again. Nut and flange are independent. Nut turns
independently of flange. imparts minimal torsion, appropriate
compression, the way blades were meant to be installed..

I welded my old nut/flange together years ago. :-)

Hope you're kidding, bad thing to do.
