The last time I put a blade on my Unisaw, I noticed that the insert was difficult to remove and place back in. It was mysterious but didn't seem to be of critical importance. I rarely use the saw, so it's been a long time. The other day I attempted to lift the insert to remove the blade, and the insert is so tight that I cannot lift it. I will most likely have to use a metal cutter to destroy it in order to remove it, but I thought I would ask first if anyone else has encountered this problem. If so, were you able to do anything to get the insert to loosen up? Maybe a hair dryer to create some heat? Or some WD40? Those doggone inserts cost over $40 and I'd love to avoid that expense if I could.
Thanks,
Mark
