Thank you for this. The lock wrench was something I didnt think of. The manual on my 1970s inherited B&D saw referenced the screwdriver trick, but as you mentioned, modern blades dont have them. Thank you for this video!

I have this exact saw but what's happened is that the motor is turning even if I clamp the blade. I can't get the blade tight enough so it doesn't lock up some times. any hints on that?

What about if you actively clamp the blade can you loosen the nut? I’m just not sure how if the blade is clamped it could move? Is it the shaft that’s spinning independent of the blade?

@@learnsavediy Yeah, I clamp blade, turn the bolt and the motor spindle turns. In fact, I can't get the blade off now. 😆 I've had this so long, must be time for a new one.

@@s6g2k I have the exact same problem. even with the blade locked the nut just spins with the motor.

@@tomzphone I got a new saw (with a spindle lock this time!) but I wanted the fresh blade from the Skil. Somehow when I tried again, I was able to loosen the nut.

@@s6g2k I am thinking I coud use a very thin piece of metal wrench shaped behind the guard and stop the shaft from spinning.

Nice video but it would have also been a good idea to mention to NOT do this work unless the saw is first unplugged.

Works great until the center spins......

The shaft is shaped to fit the blade it shouldn’t spin if the blade is fixed, unless the shaft is broken or rounded extremely. You could try using an impact gun or wedging something between the blade and saw body so just the shaft spins (power disconnected of course)
