I did that, Beeg. It cost me to replace three carbide teeth. The blade did not bounce. That is exactly what led me to doing it the way I do now.

Hey you guys!!!
Don't let your fingers get between the two wrenches when you squeeze them together!!!! Really hurts. Don't ask.

I don't even own a 1 1/4 bore blade anymore, all mine are 5/8" several years ago Shopsmith only made a choice of 3 blades, combination, crosscut and plywood. I think they have a few more choices now but they were too limited a few years ago.

I still have 4 or 5 1 1/4" arbors but no blades.

Ditto Dusty and Algale.

Left side(towards headstock LH), right side RH.

Typical mechanics open end wrenches work well. Box end on the RH nuts.
