Are you saying there is no way to hold the arbor still when tightening

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the manual for this saw says to
use a block of wood to keep the blade from spinning while tightening the
arbor nut. There's apparently no way to keep the arbor itself from turning.

Sketchy indeed...
