[@snazzyd8866]

Exactly what I needed and nothing that I didn't....thanks!

[@Dovonan]

Thanks for this video! I had to change a saw blade today and i have almost no experience with equipment like this

[@WorkMateGuy]

Glad I could help

[@BadWolf8333]

Followed your video to install a new blade. Thank you.

[@WorkMateGuy]

Glad it helped. Cheers!

Thanks so much for a very clear and concise demonstration. Surprised you don’t have more views. Thanks again.

Mike Doran You are certainly welcome and welcome to my channel. Thanks for stopping by and posting your comments.

Excellent instructive video! I just got a new FT blade to replace the original combination blade for a new project. I feel confident that I can now do this correctly having viewed this. Thanks!

[@WorkMateGuy]

Glad it was helpful Michael... and good luck on your projects!

@@WorkMateGuy I forgot one thing: What lubricant do you suggest for the arbor when cleaning it? Thanks in advance.

I’m shopping for a Ridgid pre owned saw. If the owner has lost the wrenches is that a big deal? Will any quality wrench’s suffice? Thanks

[@WorkMateGuy]

Hey Larry, good question. The wrenches are very thin so that they fit between the blade and the housing. Not sure a regular set would fit into a space that tight.

[@larryc1964]

@@WorkMateGuy I just checked out the online owners manual on the one I’m about to buy. It’s a little used saw, elderly man owned. It’s circa 2009. He can’t remember seeing any wrenches. The manual does not list any wrenches as even coming with the saw. He’s never even changed the blade from new he says. Rock solid saw so it won’t likely need special wrenches. Thanks for your reply

[@slwjenks]

I am having a problem with the riving knife. I released the lock and pulled up on it and it came out all the way. How do I get it back in? I have the Ridgid R45171.

[@WorkMateGuy]

You should be able to spread the holding assembly and slide it back in. Let me know how it goes.

[@slwjenks]

WorkMateGuy It worked thanks so much I guess I was just not seeing that there was a plate between the spring.

Thank you!

[@dougstern6914]

It’s not as easy as it looks. I had to do it a bit differently. My blade was on really tight and the wrench on the inside that was supposed to keep the blade in place kept slipping as if it were stripped. I ended up using it by putting it into the teeth of the blade to keep it from sticking and that’s when I was able to yet the unstuck and remove the blade. In addition, After getting the night off I had to tap on the blade with a hammer as I moved it in circles until it would loosen up from its position and Ashley be able to remove it. Just an extra tip from my reality :-)

[@lenabanx6221]

It really isn’t… My blade must be on there like yours was cause no matter what I do I can’t get it loose :(

[@robertmiddleton4421]

How do you remove an arbor nut that is rounded and very very stuck?

[@WorkMateGuy]

Liberal application of WD40, gentle tap-tap-tap with a small chisel or punch attempting to push the nut in a direction to loosen it... and a good set of channel lock plyers. I hope this helps.

[@robertmiddleton4421]

@@WorkMateGuy Thanks. I have a smaller channel lock plyers. Going to see if Autozone loans out the large pair. I have got that nut REALLY rounded from previous attempts. Maybe I'll do my first KZbin video if I can actually get this thing off as I haven't found one that actually goes through this. They go through really tight arbor nuts... but never like this. And, I am sure that there are a LOT of people that are going through what I am going through. I'll let you know if successful.

[@RobMacEachern]

Really helpful. Thank you!

[@WorkMateGuy]

You are certainly welcome. Thanks for stopping by.

[@benjaminschutz727]

What if the nut is too tight to loosen? We have been using this saw at least 200-300 hours and I think it's time for a new blade but the tool is stripped so it doesn't fit I n there snugly

[@WorkMateGuy]

Benjamin Schutz I would try some WD40 and let it sit for a couple of hours and of course a new wrench would be very helpful. Sometimes very gently tapping the tool many times while on the nut will help. But, be careful. Thanks for stopping by and let me know how it goes.

[@charlesrhodes2577]

@@WorkMateGuy I layed a wrench across the table so the teeth of the blade would grab it and stop the blade from turning.

[@wangbungal]

What is the model of the 10 inch ridgid blade?

[@WorkMateGuy]

RIDGID makes several different 10" blades. You can check their website for the type of blade and use you are looking for. Cheers.

[@twes619]

What did you lubricate the threads with when you removed the blade? I just removed and installed mine today and didn't lube it! WD-40? Blade Oil? let me know please, thanks.

[@WorkMateGuy]

twes619 I used 3 in 1 oil on mine and WD40 would work just fine for you. Thanks for stopping by and posting your question.

[@FrankBiggs]

Thank you…

[@WorkMateGuy]

You are certainly welcome.

[@troybush5899]

Why did you CHANGE perspectives (camera position in relation to saw) @ 2:36 - @ 2:38 ....it will MINIMIZE CONFUSION if you maintain the same position...or at least tell us so we don't need to manage the thought process!

[@WorkMateGuy]

Hi Troy, Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Cheers!

[@OTBkid]

Lefty loosey righty tighty if that's all you came here for

[@WorkMateGuy]

Cheers!

[@31acruz]

You should not say "I am pulling the blade towards the front or rear of the saw", too open to interpretation, better stick with "clockwise/counter clockwise" just a suggestion.

[@WorkMateGuy]

Thanks for pointing out another way of expressing this. Cheers!

[@lenabanx6221]

He stated while explaining which sides each wrench is for that he is facing the front of the table saw on the side with the power button.
