I'm trying to change the blade on my Plasplugs tile wet saw, after not having used it for over three years. No matter what I do, I can't get the nut off! I've tried WD-40, graphite, hammering a lock grip, etc. Maybe I'm trying to get it to go in the wrong direction ... which way should I be trying to move it? Towards the front of the saw where I would stand, or towards the back?

    I am having the same problem. Want to throw this thing against the wall. Not buying another. I'll switch brands before I waste the money.

    I had the same problem and came across this post. I used WD40 on the nut and bolt and hit it with the wrench numerous times to loosen it up. Turned it lefty loosy and it worked. Just keep at it.

Try rotating the nut COUNTER-CLOCKWISE.

Usually, nuts and bolts are Righty-Tighty, Lefty-Loosy, but frequently saw blad nuts use a Lefty-Tighty, Righty-Loosy.

They are built so that when the blade starts to turn, it puts a momentum on the nut that tightens it, so that a loose nut won't come flying off, and get someone injured.

    I had the same problem. Used WD40 on the nut and bolt and hit it with the wrench incessantly. Turned it left and finally came off. Keep at it.

Rigid tile saw. Can I use a wood blade?
Tile saws are designed to use a diamond blade, and to keep it wet. That's not something you want with a wood blade, nor with wood. The speed of a tile saw is much slower than a good wood saw. I wouldn't try it.

Looking for shaft lock to change the blade on MK 170 wet saw
Just use a rag and grab the blade. Unless the threads are messed up you don't have to hold the arbor still, just the blade.

Wet saw not cutting material completely
It might need a new blade. But try putting an old tile or offcut behind the tile you are cutting. Make sure the table surface is clean and flat. Residue tends to build up around the front of the blade which could cause the tile to crack. The ryobi's have a habit of water getting into the motor and the bearing destroys itself. Next time you take the blade off, take of the blade support and put bearing grease behind the rubber washer. I've blown up two this year until I worked out what the problem was.

Need to change the blade on a plasplugs diamond wheel wet saw
The shaft threads seemed to be stripped and you may have to get a set of Torx bits or if not then one bit for the torx screws to take them off. If the threads are stripped on the shaft then you may have to replace it.

Crooked cuts
The bearings in your saw need to be replaced. I would contact a DeWalt store to obtain the parts or have them do the repair. You have an excellent saw there, well worth repairing. good luck.
