Are you able to use a common box end wrench (spanner) or a socket? Probably Imperial size around 1/2" and lefthand thread.

My P-C 346 takes a 1/2" wrench to change the blade. Hope this helps.  |

Thanks for your replies , seems the spanner I need is the jackshaft spanner , outer bolt is 5/8" so no problem with that one , looks like I will have to make my own for the shaft , as its 1 1/8" and very slim , tried the old method of a piece of timber between blade and base but didnt work as everything rotated but the blade . |

Porter Cable router wrenches are 1 1/8" and rather thin, flat stamped steel. |

Why not use the shaft lock plunger? |

My saw doesn't have a shaft lock as its rather old , bit like me , but in much better condition than I am ! Managed to make a temporary spanner to get blade off so happy days, interestingly the blade had a knockout for diamond shaped arbor . |
