The only reason I say to get two is that my blade/slot never lined up, so I ordered a new ring, which was about 3/8" wider than the one on the machine (510/520 version is wider than the 500 version), so it was either always too small, or I or the previous owner did something to "shrink" it.

As shown on the SS website that part number appears to be an O-ring. The actual part is more like a tube, 2 or 3 inches long, right? (I remember seeing a shot of it on one of the on-line videos but I watched so many I don't remember which one it was in.) But I will take the advice offered to merely measure the distance and proceed accordingly.[/quote


M5/MV500 = 3/8"!!!!!!!!

Me too = just learned the 500 stop ring is a whole lot shorter than a 519/520.
