Are saw arbors 500/510 interchangeable?
I see a 1 1/4" saw arbor for a Model 510. Will it fit a 500? They have different part number at the Shopsmith site. I guess when they don't specify on Ebay it's probably for a 500.

The 500 table is smaller, and the blade slot is closer to the left edge. The 500 arbors are 'shorter' that the 05/10/20 version.artfuldodger wrote:I see a 1 1/4" saw arbor for a Model 510.

If you are willing to adjust the blade to the slot(by moving the quill) they are for the most part interchangible(ignoring some blade guard issues).
Assuming a seller knows the difference is a crap shoot!:eek:

You have to be careful with interference with the lower guard. If you give us the auction number, we should be able to identify whether the arbor is for a 500.artfuldodger wrote:I see a 1 1/4" saw arbor for a Model 510. Will it fit a 500?
