I need a 5/8 In arbor, is this it?

cobra.driver · Post by **cobra.driver** » Sat May 15, 2010 9:53 am

I can't tell the difference between the dado and the standard arbor, I need the standard table saw arbor part 555321 for my 500. I found this one and was wondering if anyone can tell from sight if this is in fact a 555321.

Thnk you,

This is not the Saw Arbor. It it the Molder/Dado Arbor (505506).

Based on the picture, I would guess it is a 5/8" universal arbor that is no longer sold. They are about 1/4" shorter on threads than the current molder/dado arbor.

It should work on a 500, but blade/slot alignment is an operator function. Actually it is better than a molder/dado arbor for a saw blade since it is shorter(will not interfere with the table tie bar).

The needed arbor depends upon which model SS ya have. 500,505,510,520.

Beeg is that some newer version of my arbor, because it doesn't look like anything I have at the time?

It looks alot shorter and just plain weird compared to what was given me.

Thanx for the help anyhow,

Yes that is a new version of a 5/8" arbor for a 500.

There have been several versions of a 5/8" arbor over the years.

The e-bay item in your initial post will work, but it is nothing like the newer/current one. The current one will only work with a saw blade. The e-bay item can be used as an arbor for additional things.

It is best that any 'universal' arbor has a keyed washer.
