Hello Everyone, I've seen several discussions on here about this saw and hopefully one of you catches this post. I bought one in fairly good condition. The only issue is they have a wood block installed on the clutch locking the saw in high-speed mode. The block was drilled to fit over the shaft between the knurled shifting knob and the large pulley.

I want to start using the saw for metal cutting, so I need to remove that block. The knob won't budge. I removed the set screw but can't get the knob off, which means I can't get the block off without breaking it. I need to know if the knob is threaded on or if they just beat it on.

As a side thought, I'm really hoping they didn't install that block because one of the pins broke and it doesn't work in the metal mode.

Thanks in advance for any information.
