I’ve had this Dewalt DW744 table saw for about 10 years. It’s a cornerstone of my woodworking.
Recently went to change blades and the arbor nut was stripped out.
Dewalt says they no longer support this saw either. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find a replacement in the USA or the UK.
A 5/8” nut shouldn’t be that difficult to find but I have no idea what the thread count is.
Any ideas would be appreciated. The Dewalt part #153439-00.
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, the 153439-00 arbor nut has been discontinued and a replacement fastener w/ the correct diameter, pitch, thread orientation and strength could probably be used if this fastener was lost.
But, the reported issue is stripped threads.
Frequently when mating threads are damaged, both parts are affected.
So, if the nut is damaged, then it is likely that the motor arbor is also damaged.
It may be possible for the correct replacement nut to retain a static blade, but I would not want to be anywhere near that tool when operating and especially when the blade is put under load.
It has reached time when that saw must be relegated to fond memories.
