It is what it is I guess. I'm just too exhausted to keep playing the game. Totally worn down and I'm at over $5000 in losses at work now so I'm better off just getting back to trying to get an order in for the saw I wanted. Once the sawstop is repaired I'll hopefully be able to sell it without too much trouble.
As far as the arbor threads and the nut hanging off them: Sounds like Frank and Clark do it no problem. Not having the nut on all the way, too scary for me. Can't do it.
