I am thinking of buying a spare arbor nut. As usual I am thinking too much. I was thinking if I dropped my Arbor nut in this mess of a shop what would I do if I could not find it? So I am thinking about buying a spare arbor nut. Usually according to Murphy's law this would work pretty well. Murphy's law says that parts for which you have spares will never break or get lost. Which has worked for me mostly and is a fine and dandy concept... along the lines of if you carry an umbrella with you it will not rain on that occasion.
Of course the corollary to Murphy is that more than likely you have bought the wrong items as spares.
Nonetheless I have digressed,
To me the classic arbor nut for a right tilt table saw is the 5/8"-12 Acme (square profile, not "V") thread left-handed nut. A odd beast (since ANSI SAE 5/8" threads are 11 and 18 TPI) and of course virtually all right-handed.
Also, 5/8" bolts and nuts in ANSI std sizes take 15/16th wrench; but Arbor nuts are thin, and take 3/4" wrench.
So is this true of the BT3000 and almost all 10" table saws, that they have this odd arbor nut?
Is it the same for most all 10" miter saws as well? Do they share the same arbor nut?
Does anyone know where I can get one cheaply and easily?
