Thanks for the reply Leon.

I bought this at the flea market about 5 years ago, and finally needed
to replace the blade, and never had any of the accessories.

I was able to keep the shaft from turning by using a screwdriver on
the cooling fan. Crude, but it worked.

Looks like a trip to the flea market to find a wrench that will fit and
then grind it down to fit for the next time. For as much as I use it, I
may not need to change the blade for another 5 years.

Can anyone tell me if there's a special tool needed to change the blade
on a Rockwell 315 Circular Saw? It seems pretty easy, but as I spin the
bolt with my wrench, the nut or mount on the other side of the blade
spins.

It looks like you can get a wrenh on it, biut it would have to be very
thin to fit between the blade and the motor. I don't see anything to
keep the motor from spinning when you change the blade either.

If anyone has had one of these before, please let me know how I can
easily chage the blade.


Typically the wrench that comes with a TS is made from thin stamped steel.
Use 2 wrenches, one on each side.
