First Claim
1. A bolt lock adapted for engagement alongside a blade collar securing a circular cutting blade to a rotating shaft of a saw, the bolt lock defining a first face to be directed toward the blade, an oppositely directed second face, and an outer edge extending between the first and second faces and extending about the outer periphery of the bolt lock, the bolt lock also defining a centrally disposed primary opening extending from the first face to the second face, the primary opening sized and shaped to fittingly receive a mounting bolt attaching the blade and blade collar to the rotating shaft, the bolt lock further defining a secondary opening spaced radially from the center of the bolt lock.

Abstract
A bolt lock is described for attachment to a blade collar of a concrete saw. The bolt lock stabilizes the position of a blade collar mounting bolt thereby preventing the bolt from loosening, which could otherwise result in the blade disengaging from the concrete saw.
