I have a 315-1, Type 2 and I need the open end wrench used to secure the shaft while the blade is being changed. Can you help?

Hi Bigstone,

The jackshaft wrench (part #48321) is unfortunately discontinued. You can still get the blade bolt wrench part #882456 if it is needed.

Hope this helps!

I still have my wrench which came with the saw. I can provide you with dimensions/drawing if you want to try to make one yourself. My 315-1 just broke last night--fell off the bench and cracked the depth adjust slide [ref. # 69, p/n 684587. So I'm looking for a used one for spare parts. It still runs great and there's nothing like it on the market anymore. Everything's made in China now...

I took an old circular saw blade and the width is the same as a 1 1/8" open end wrench for the jack shaft. I marked the wrench on the saw blade (marks a lot) and used my chop/abrasive saw to cut out a rough wrench shape and open the 1 1/8" opening to fit the jack shaft. Polished it up with a small (4 1/2" grinder) ... homemade part#48321... jack shaft wrench. I started with an old 1 1/8" wrench to grind it thin but that was too much work to fit in the space and the old circular saw blade was perfect in thickness and strength. AMERICAN MADE... nothing like the good ole' USA... to Hell with China Made.

I lost my wrench years ago, I've always been able to swap blades using the old "wedge the teeth into a black of wood" method. A normal wrench grabs the outside nut in this case.
ie: with the saw upside down, insert a the edge of a block of wood, like a 2X4 between two teeth to keep the blade from sinning while you apply torque to the outer nut.
