What is this?

I bought a second hand table saw and this came with it? It's metal with a + cut out at the top and a magnet at the bottom with 2 bolts?

Make and model of saw would be useful information. The cat has eaten my Mystic Meg pill for today.

Axminster aw12bsb2..not sure how that will help, most saws are very generic these days

Looks like 5he tool to change the blade on an angle grinder. The top cross, well you could use that to polish brass buttons

I tried Google lens which if you have not used before identifies photos to objects online.

i have used it before with so so results.

I had a red plastic button laying around the house and i was going to bin it, took a photo and it identified it as a part from my coffee machine.

Then I took a photo of a piece of plastic from my wife's mop handle..it said it was a silencer from a German Lugar pistol!

This part that came with my table saw, Google lens said it was part of a studded leather paddle and directed me to some S and M site!

Maybe Google lens is not quite as good as I first thought..

Looks like a spanner to undo something. And as said it does look similar to an angle grinder spanner so thats a clue to its use. Has a home made look to it as well. The magnet suggests that whatever the thing it fits is steel. Any threaded things with 2 holes came with it?

It holds a blade retaining nut verucally down the gap in the table whilst changing blades. Look at the blade nut to see if it has corresponding holes?

Well deduced, I reckon.

The blade nut is just a regular nut? Thanks

Well that’s a goo idea even if that isn’t what this is, always worried about dropping the nutbut all these years and haven’t managed to drop it yet - yet!

Maybe the nut just sits between the two projecting parts, held by the magnet until you get thread or two on the spindle.

C'man, I too live in fear of dropping and losing mine, if I have to change a blade I make it a rule to vacuum up the sawdust appropriately. I might look at making a 'holderator'.

The cat has eaten my Mystic Meg pill for today and is currently over in the corner, babbling on about about colors of the wallpaper.

Fixed it for you.
