This is an underrated video on KZfaq. No one has the little mini wrench for their table saw. And honestly even if i had it, i would still do it this way

Thank you so much! I'm one of those people who misplaced the tool that came with the table saw, so this video was so helpful.

I just stumbled upon this video and thought to myself I know how to do it but watched the video anyways. 30 some years of doing it the hard and unsafe way. I have had my hand slip before and apparently I have been over tightening my blades as well. Just tried this on my saw and it was easy safe and quick. Thank you for posting this information! I will surely pass this on to my father and kids and anyone who joins me in the shop!

Thanks for the video! I’ve been avoiding my table saw because I knew the blade needed replaced and was super intimidated but I’m about to do it now!

OMG!! I'd spend a day wrenching on a Craigslist table saw that did not come with tools to change the blade, and your trick worked perfectly!!!! Thanks!!

Your video and demonstration with clear instructions saved me from a big headache..didn't know what to do without the wrench and two prong spanner..thanks a bunch, man...

Thanks for this....you make it look so easy; my saw has probably been overtightened by the previous owner. Only two of a dozen woodworking saw books actually advise the saw nut is in fact reverse threaded! Important for this beginner. Thanks again.

Thanks a lot. It is an honor to hear from people from all over the who are finding some useful info on my channel. Enjoy the rest of your winter down under, and keep in touch. Allan

Thank you so much, just spent 30 trying to figure out how to swap out a saw blade without an arbor wrench and without success before I saw your video, worked perfectly!

I had to try this technique prior to adding a comment. - 10 minutes later - I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW GOOD THIS WORKS!!!! I always used the "wood wedge" method. Thanks for the tip.

76 year old 3rd gen woodworker (still a novice however) wow! Just learned a great technique for a blade change! Can't recall how many times I've "missplaced" those crazy wrenches. Thanks for your terrific education.

This is such an intelligent way of doing it. Work smarter, not harder!

As the saying says, learn something new every day. Appreciate the video and the intel on this.

Thank you for your video! I was wrenching on my saw blade for hours with no luck, came across your video and your technique worked!!

SOB I'm in disbelief this just worked.I spent 25$ for the replacement wrench. I will be returning it now! Thank you so much for sharing this trick

If I could like this 20 times I would. Absolutely the easiest time I have ever changed a blade. This is so unbelievably simple.

I just went to try your system... it works so easily, thank you from this 62 year old Granny.

Man you saved me a head scratcher. My table saw I picked up second hand only had a nut on the outside. Inside was just a round bushing flat up against the blade. Thanks a bunch!

I want to thank you for a wonderful, professional, and educational video. It has helped me change-out my table saw blade with ease with the least resistance. A great reference with safety in-mind. One of the best videos of what You Tube is meant for ........to help the masses of like-minded DIYers for the good of the Earth. And helping your fellow man. Keep-up the great work my friend.

Thank you bro, my table saw it's pretty different but your method work like a charm, thanks for share.

Thanks. I am mostly self taught when it comes to my woodworking hobby and I have definitely picked up some bad habits, even o things that may seem rudimentary like changing a saw blade. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

Just tried this on an old table saw I inherited. Works like a charm!

Thanks for making your video so short simple and easy to understand !!! Great video ....

Dude, that is really cool. I just did it and didn’t believe it. I just got my blade off the same way you did it. Thank you.

I lost the wrench to my saw, can't find it anywhere but then I remembered this video. It worked like a charm, thank you.

Sublimely simple and elegant approach to a potentially dangerous task - Thanks Allan.

Thank you so much! I was feeling a little intimidated at the thought of opening up my table saw. I asked three different men for assistance, but they all avoided the issue-one of them has been married to me for the last 27 years. This made it look easy! I am going downstairs to tackle my saw so that I can get my drawers done! Thanks again!

Great tip - My Table Top saw blade would not budge. I tried your method - I did have to tap the stick to get things started - and it worked like a dream - Thanks!

This is so simple and so crazy how good this tip is!!! THANK YOU.

thank you very much ,after 2 hour broken HSS , A trip to hardware store , your video was so simple and great awesome never have to stress about changing blade . love your work. cheers H

Many thanks for posting this video. I must say it did not work for me this time. I had to resort to the method you advised against. However this is the first time I've taken it off and likely it was over tightened at manufacture. I think your method makes sense and I'll be following your tip from now on. Thanks for being there!

Didn't think it would work like the butter you made it seem but it did! Wow an actually helpful video on the internet. Appreciate it!

I'm changing my blade tomorrow....thank you for helping me!

Wow! 60 seconds and I'm done... and the blade has not been changed since I bought the saw around 1986. Thank you.

Thanks John. I like that there no body motions that require extra force or exertion where a slip can either lead to an injury or a damaged blade.

Thanks for your help! Have a table saw that was handed down several years ago and the online manual I found was no help. You put me right on the correct path and I was done in minutes.

There are days when I change blades many times. I like the control of doing it this way. Thanks for watching and commenting. Allan

this was sooooo helpful and much safer for me. Thanks

Thank you. I just bought an old Craftsman contractor table saw and the collar behind the blade has no slot for a wrench. This is going to work perfectly.

Wow, thanks. I lost the wrenches to a cheap table saw I bought 15 years ago. Thanks for the tip. I won't be able to try it until I get up to my cabin, that's where my table saw is. I thought I was gonna have to try and buy a new set of wrenches! :-)

My table saw blade nut has right hand threads, though this procedure still worked great. Thanks for making this video!

You are very welcome. You can see from this video the new insert and the lubes. I will post soon how to tap the set screws into the plywood insert for adjustment and then drop it safely onto the spinning blade to make a zero clearance insert. Then I will show how to clean and grease and oil the moving parts of the saw to keep it top running shape. Thanks again Jay, and keep in touch. Allan

Awesome technique, lost my arbor wrench ages ago and it's too thin to get another 1-1/4 in there, this method helped save me from doing the binding technique which I really didn't want to do to my blades!

Thanks for taking the time to share a great technique. Much appreciated.

Hi John. That is why I wanted to share this video of a controlled way to remove the blade. It is always gratifying when I hear from someone who found useful information on my channel. I have a video I am going to upload in the next few days about making my favorite style of push stick. Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep in touch. Allan

I purchased a Delta table saw at a pawn shop, of course it had no arbor wrench~~ your method worked thanks for such great info.. The little delta table saw works great~~~~ best $75.00 I spent...

Thank you very much for uploading this video man, it made my day I could open and change the blade easily after watching this video👍👍👍

Thanks for that positive comment. I really enjoy making these videos. I am learning about technology and getting to meet and communicate with interesting people from all over the world. I have been really inspired by people I have met through my channel. For people who are self motivated learners, this is an amazing age. Thanks again and keep in touch. Allan

Why anyone would give this a thumbs down is beyond me! Thanks man!

thanks for the safest blade change procedure that I have seen! I enjoy your videos, worked all the way thru the 42 for the mallets, very good tricks and tips!

Wow! I am impressed at how simple this is - but so useful.

GREAT tip on removing the blade. Last year I gouged my wrist on a blade while removing it - would have never happened with your technique.

Thanks for the video. It's funny how basic this is but it's very helpful and a lot of people making woodworking videos don't get into the super basics. I just got an old delta table saw missing the wrenches and it was looking like was going to be a hassle to get replacement. Liked and subbed.

Just the perfect instructional video. My first time doing this but with your help, no problem... Thank you SO MUCH!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea. God bless you!

Thank you so much, I followed your method and it worked. Much appreciated!

Nice one! I had never seen a blade removed and installed in that way! Thanks for posting this.

Thank you!! Very helpful!! You have a new subscriber 😊👍

THANK YOU SIR... YOU SAVED MY LIFE... THE TIP OF THE STICK IS AWESOME!!

Now you made that look so easy. Thanks for showing,as they say you learn some thing knew everyday.will use this at my next blade change. cheers

Brilliant! Thank you - I need to put a finer blade on mine for a couple things, and this is genius!!

Your video makes it SO easy to change a blade! Thank You!

holy crap thank you so much, after cutting myself a couple times and breaking one of the wrenches I was literally about to go take it to a repair shop but decided to google a video despite my doubt on any techniques helping, 2 taps on a 6 foot 2x4 and it came loose after an hour of struggling

I'm going to try this in the morning. If this works , you are gonna hear about it !!!

Sounds like thread issues. Sawdust clogged or rust. Clean really well with old toothbrush/wire brush and WD40. Is there an arbor lock or a place inside the shaft for a thin wrench to keep arbor from spinning. If not block belt and pulley with an old leather glove to keep from turning. Remove nut(left hand threaded for right tilt saws).This means CW loosens CCW tightens. If still stuck grab arbor with pliers with leather protecting threads from pliers and remove nut clockwise.

This is amazing! You just saved me from cutting up my hands. Thank you!

Excellent. I am glad this helped.

best information ever! thank you and god bless

Great saftey tip! Thank you SO Much for this!!! Subscribed Long time ago!

Almost trashed my saw yesterday, glad I saw this.

Thank you for sharing the safe way to remove a blade

Wonderful tip. Thank you.

Smarter not harder. Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing, I like working with wood and my table saw but mechanical, I'm hopeless , very much appreciated

Freaking Genius!! Saved me hours....Worked perfectly

From 2:00 to 2:20 is where the magic happens! And it helps me remember which way "loosening' happens.... just secure blade bolt with wrench and tap the blade teeth against the the direction of cutting rotation. Bam! Great!

You are correct. It is not because you are woman. It is because you are so talented at so many things, except mechanical things. Just like I am not allowed to do computer maintenance on your systems.

Good Lord! By far the best technique I've seen to change the blade...EVER!! Make physics work for you...go figure! :-)

Awesome I needed help thanks!!!

Helpful. Thank you!

PHENOMENAL PROCEDURE, THANKS!!!

Amazing tip!!! Thanks.

Thank you for safety focus

Nice video man. I'd like it twice if i could

so simple and safe 😂 tq

Amazing! Thank you!

Works great!

Always glad too see your videos in my sub box :) Please don't ever stop!

Gonna try this.

Touché. I can't argue that.

It help me a lote thank you👋

worked like a charm. than you

Thank you so very much!!!!

Thank you very much.!

Awesome. Just saved me some issues

The more I am thinking about your note. I think you may be tuning the nut the wrong way. Your saw arbor is the opposite of what is most common. Left hand threads.

Very informative and smart.TY,BC

Any suggestions on how to change a blade when the motor shaft keeps spinning along with the arbor nut (and arbor bushing/wahser)? There is no spindle lock, and even with the blade help steady, impossible to remove nut! It is an old Black and Decker 8 1/4" "deluxe" table saw...

"...it would be ugly with a capital U." .

Clever stuff! Thanks.
