How to free a jammed nut?

That is the answer, don't know why I didn't think of it sooner.
If that thread is the same as our very old heavy cast saw bench then it’s opposite thread
The nut on our bench is 70 mm
But is it possible that its normal thread as a normal thread nut would be cheaper and some sort of thread lock has been used
I don’t know how much a blade with tipped teeth would cost
Probably quite a lot
Looks to be a good blade already in bench
But not a good idea to put bar in tooth to lock it

Ta-da:
I put out a call for a 3/4" drive airline impact wrench to a friendly garage and with that and buckets of easing oil it gradually shifted. Didn't half make a lot of noise about it - the wrench hammering and the nut screaming like a stuck pig. That blade's going on a wall and a nice TC-tipped baby in its place. Life's too short and I'm aware of not having a lot of it left.
An e-trike I got couple of years ago when my knees were playing up badly. My place is very 'linear', so lots of walking to & from the workshop carrying stuff. This has helped a lot.
It's been very useful and is well-designed, but suffers badly from the fact it's made in China. Therefore rusting stanchions, dodgy gearchange and a tendency only to work when it wants to. Dealers are Jorvik Tricycles, in York. Looks like you're close to me, so you're welcome to check it out here if you're tempted to get one. Be warned that trikes are always trying to get you off, so have to be learned. No problem once you've got the hang of it, but I still end up in the ditch occasionally, my own fault for racing it everywhere...
Thanks to everyone for the time taken with your ideas - much appreciated. Cheers.

This has just got me thinking is this how they work?
See the op obtained an air gun but in general battery guns have an extra turbo boost to crack off a stuck nut. That's not going to work on a left hand thread and if used to tighten again will tighten to a point the gun will never crack it off again

Would someone waken @dudders up as I need an answer before going to work. Suspense is killing me.

That bench could be converted to something safer with some thought and a little effort. I'm sure I have seen something similar that's been adapted. I have a tipping saw bench here and it's great.

My oxdale Italian swing saw bench is i think as safe as it can be . Very good either way.

A man who likes to live dangerously- a PTO driven circular saw bench AND a trike.
Presents from his wife I expect from my own experience.

Sorry to miss that out - yes, it is left-hand thread, as we all expected it to be. I guess @Dry Rot put it best: the nut turns off in the same direction the blade cuts. Must remember that...
There was no peg or roll-pin.
I defo won't be retightening it with an impact wrench! But replacing it today for a run-up, it was again incredibly tight, even with cleaned and greased threads. The new blade will be removed occasionally for sharpening, however, so it won't have time to seize up.
The bench will only likely be used for pointing spiles, so the swing type is not appropriate for me. A processor does the firewood here.

I used to have a Log Chop - good tool, especially as that hydraulic knife makes no noise and no dust, but sold it recently as I found it too slow on bigger stuff and it really didn't like stringy wood like hazel and willow. Maybe it was you that bought it off me??

My little chop saw/ripping saw has a hinged guard over the top when in ripping mode which is better than nothing. (It's a cunning Italian job that can be used in either mode by flipping the table over). The 'guard' is also meant to direct saw dust into a bag when a tube is connected. It pushes upwards as material is fed in. Not ideal but might save me if I trip and fall onto the blade. Just an idea.

Anyone recommend a supplier of tipped blades these sort of size?

Sussex Sharpening Services - 01323 871 008.
I got a new big blade from them recently and jolly nice it is too. Get top grade, Germanium not Chinesium, and it'll be well worth the extra £.

700mm diameter, TC-tipped, made by Stehle £296 inc VAT, August 2023. But carriage to you would be dear.
These people have a depot in Fife, also it seems offering the first sharpening free: https://bandsaw-blades-online.co.uk...ssing-tct-tungsten-carbide-tipped-saw-blades/.

Had my 700 mm tct sharpened here
Seems a good firm
Lancashire saw company
No. Bought mine off a chap near Hemel Hempstead. Agree it is slower, but definitely safer For cutting firewood. Sometimes have to turn the wood and chop it twice.
