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.

Also the spindle stop that you push in to arrest the blade while
unwinding it, can't be held in place so I have jury rigged a spanner
across it and wrapped a tie around it. That can't be the design can it?
What moron came up with that brilliant idea?

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.

Generally - and luckily - the opposite direction to the rotation of the
blade. Which means you can allow the teeth of the blade to bite into scrap
to hold it still.

it is usually easy to tell. just imagine that if the saw turned as it
usually does, but there was a spanner on the nut, then the nut would get
tighter, therefore the average saw has a standard type thread, so undo it by
turning anti clockwise.

Who buys a Boschmann chop saw?

You have been warned!

I saw a chop saw in Aldi for about £65 -with a draw arm on it too but
it was 240v.

I went to B&Q and found a new blade for mine is going to cost me £45.
This bloody 110volt nonsense is a bloody con.

I never said he did. The self righteous bs got up my nose and I didn't

Assuming that you are the only Weatherlawyer (not sure about this as
sometimes your posts make some sort of vague sense), are you allowed
to use power tools?
