With a sharp blade it may not hurt... at least not right away. ;~)

Take the whole saw to the hardware store or your local fastener shop
and see if they have something to fit.

My thoughts exactly. I thought, "Oh noooo..., not another shop accident
story." Then I thought, just how would he do that?

Then I saw that it was a hardware problem. In that case just go to your
local fastener place and let them find it for you. Anybody who works with
tools or machinery needs a relationship with fastener and bearing houses.
Those guys have saved my ass on many occasions. The world could not operate
without them.

There were two ways to read that sentence. Happily, you meant it in the
less painful sense.

Have you tried putting a thread guage on the "bolt"? Or... taking your saw
to the big box store to match up a nut? You could have probably had it
fixed by now...
