Hello 1157332,

The only way we can notify you about the status on a part for a customer. Is for you to place an order for that item. After that you we be notified by email of the status of your order, approximately every two weeks. Right now I no that the manufacture has the 422171330002 belt on back order with no delivery date. But that could change tomorrow, you never know. Then if you feel that it is taking to long to receive your order, you can always cancel it.

Hope that helps,
-WJA

Hello 904224,

I know the manufacture has not come out with a replacement part number for it. You might try some tool repair shops in your area and see if the can come up with match for you.

Good luck,

It is an 8mm screw. I just took one apart and put it back.

Most of the older miter saws didn't have a spindle lock on them for changing the blade. To hold the blade stationary try putting a piece of scrap wood on the saw and then lower the blade onto it. The blade will dig into the wood and effectively lock the spindle.

On this model (and many others) of Delta saws, there is a female hex at the opposite end to the blade. Simply insert a hex key and hold it while loosening the blade nut. This saw has a separate mandrel from the motor and a block of wood will not always be the proper way to loosen the nut.
