Which way does the bolt unwind on a Boschmann chop saw? I can't seem
to budge it in either direction. The thing cuts anticlockwise and
the arrow points thataway so I presume the thread is a standard
direction and I need to unwind it in a clockwise motion.

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 £30 quid down the sawannee if I can find someone to tap it
out. And another £20 or £30 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.
