Delta Shopmaster table saw wrench

[Bas]

A friend of mine has a Delta Shopmaster TS200. To change the blade, you need two wrenches. A regular wrench will do fine for loosening the nut, but you need a thin stamped steel wrench to hold the arbor. Does anyone know where to get one of these? Neither the DeltaPorterCable nor the parts site were very helpful.

Or better yet, anyone have one of these lying around gathering rust/ dust?

Bas, He could use something like this.

I use the BladeLoc on my Jet, too.

I have a grinder that didn't come with the one wrench, I just bought a cheap wrench from Harbor Freight and ground it down thinner.

I just wedge a piece of scrap wood in the blade. the wrenches that come with tble saws have a SPECIAL place they go to.

I would have gone the grind down route also and apparently arbor wrenches disappear down the same black hole as router collet wrenches and odd socks in the dryer

Bas,
I went by the DeWalt store and had the same problem. They couldn't match the part number and dimension with what they had in stock. They had a couple of extra thin flat wrenches on their workbench made for something with a smaller nut and gave one to me. 5 minutes on a grinder and it fit. You can also use a discarded lawnmower blade and hacksaw/grind one.

Eat your spinach and use a new hacksaw blade if you go this route.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll look at HF for a cheap wrench, and then see about grinding it down. The blade loc is certainly nice, but a trifle expensive for this saw.

I think I bought a set of thin wrenches from HF that should do the trick. One end is offset to 80 degrees to use on hydraulic hoses.

I really like the Blade Loc
Of course, mine was free. For some inexplicable reason the manager of the local Payne Tools gave me one two years ago
But if I tear it up, I will pay for another.

I also have the Blade Loc and would not be without it.
Got mine about 5 years ago and, of course, had to pay
for it. Would buy another one if something happened to
this one. Great tool.
