A saw blade mounting assembly includes a saw spindle assembly, including a saw hub rotatable in a chosen direction about a drive axis and having a first, driving engagement member, and a saw blade collar assembly, to which a saw blade is mountable, having a second, driven engagement member. The first and second engagement members are complementary tapered engagement members so that rotating the saw spindle assembly in the chosen direction causes the saw blade collar assembly any saw blade to rotate. One of the first and second tapered engagement members include tapered receiver slots having tapered portions with entrance openings into the tapered portions. The other of the tapered engagement members include tapered locking tabs sized for engagement within the tapered portions of the tapered receiver slots. The locking tabs may move axially and then rotationally through the tapered receiver slots. |
