[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1094277, member: 176704"] Just had a look at another cheap circular saw that I inherited from my father-in-law, and seems to have been made in the 1980's/early 1990's - the blade seems to held in place with a bolt into the end of the armature shaft and which clamps a small plate hard onto it ( a bit like most angle-grinders). Couldn't release the bolt because I don't have, or at least couldn't find, a 2-pronged tool to fit into the clamp plate to keep it stationary whilst undoing the bolt (this saw has no spindle lock like some similar tools). However, I suspect that this saw simply uses the clamping force from the bolt + plate to stop the blade spinning freely. [/QUOTE]
