Is there a larger nut for the Unisaw, aftermarket maybe?

The small, stock one is kind of a PITA sometimes.

You should be able to use one from any other mfg. with the same arbour threads. I don't have experience with many different saws but the unisaw we have at work and the General 350 I use appear to have the same 5/8" course left-hand Acme thread. The General comes with a massive nut. You could probably order one from them aftermarket. Also try a local heavy duty mechanic, they may have or have access to what you need.

Hi, watch what nut you order, as a left tilt saw has a right hand thread, reverse for a right hand tilt saw.

P.S. The General 650 uses a 5/8 right hand Acme thread, that requires a 1 inch wrench.

I spent $20 at a Rockler store on a Delta Arbor Nut Assembly Rt Tilt Table Saws (http://www.mikestools.com/36-659-Delta-Arbor-Nut-Assembly-Rt-Tilt-Table-Saws.aspx). Don't see it on Rockler's website however. Amazon stops carrying it.

Best $20 Unisaw accessory :)

The one for lelf tilt saw is also available.
