Not really a problem, I just feel that if you have to put the blade in the holder tighten down then put in bracket, would it be just as easy to put the blade in say a regular blade clamp, like the ex,etc, and tighten down. I feel like I am doing double work. But like Rolf said with this system you can have blades ready to go at all times. I guess it is something I have to get use to, as far as the saw goes it great, especially the top clamp, enjoy the holidays, RJ
