A couple of years ago I purchased a used Jet cabinet saw. It is in very condition and was previously owned by a hobbyist woodworker. I have noticed that the nut turns on the shaft with some resistance and changing blades is somewhat difficult. From the photo, it appears that the years of use have resulted in some deformation (spreading?) of the shaft threads. I have verified that the nut is not the problem. I can certainly live with this situation. Would I regret running a 5/8" reverse acme thread die over the shaft threading as a possible solution?
Thanks!
