Swaglosrevival Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Ok y'all gonna be mad at me when you hear this.I was changing the blade to my Cordless saw and I used my baby hulk impact to take the bolt off because its easier. Only I snapped the head off the bolt!I managed to get the rest of the screw out but I can't find the right size anywhere. I tried 3 different Lowes 4 Home Depots and a ace hardware. It seems like its the bolt isn't anything standard. Does anybody know the bolt size? Of even a website to buy it from, cause I can't even word my question right on Google. lol [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] [emoji30] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comp56 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 check with manufacture or owners manual may have a schematic of all parts with part numbers......if it unscrews chances are it can get lost so it should be able to be replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Dont you have hardware stores that sell Makita nearby? They should be able to order the right Bolt for you in a day or 2 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M80 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 What model number? Also, you snapped it taking it out? Is the bolt shank stuck in there now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfwjr Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Is it a reverse thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 It's left handed thread, almost certainly M8. Whoops, actually M6. I got my metric sizes mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 It's left handed thread, almost certainly M8.That's probably the problem the stores have the right size but not one with left handed threads. You were lucky you got the remnants of the bolt out easy also I would have been pissed at myself and cursing if that was me 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmcmillan Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Or get two for next time some smartass overtightens a blade bolt =Phttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N9VAARU/ Every saw I can remember dealing with used an M6 bolt (sorry I got my metric confused earlier thinking M8 was the 1/4 equivalent instead of 3/8 equivalent) with the only difference being thread direction for the blade direction. That means almost any miter saw or blade left circular saw will have interchangeable bolts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
