the standard abortion size. TB :eek: :eek: :eek: LOL... This is what happens when you post from your iPhone, with big thumbs...and autocorrect takes over. Somehow it turns "arbor" into "abortion." Sounds about right. And everything Apple releases another iOS version update, some...

I have one SS blade, and it's a dull one at that. So I think the 5/8" arbor makes sense for me, but I can definitely see why you feel the way you do.

WRONG! Well, maybe not wrong because I do not speak for "most people" but I use ALMOST exclusively the Shopsmith blades. I have only one 5/8" arbor and it is with a blade purchased special for use with fine counter top materials. It hardly ever gets used not that that project is hist...

Here's another question... I apparently didn't get a table saw blade arbor when I bought this 500/510. So I am going to order one from the mothership (along with one or two other things) next week. I presume most people are just using the 5/8" arbors so they can find blades locally? I was also ...

OK...so just up against that stop then. Thanks. Mine is pretty much there now, with the 48" distance between the inner edges of the two base castings. It looks fine and the way tubes sit nicely--and the lock engages nicely as well. So I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Thanks again.

Hi folks... I'm reassembling a 500/510 I've had for a few years now, but never used. I need to know the correct amount to insert the bench tubes into the base on either end. Does anyone have that dimension? I've searched around the forum a bit today but didn't find it in the archive. I also have a M...

I have a line on a belt sander, from a fellow in Illinois. It seems to be in great shape, and the price is reasonable. I will send him the money next week, and hope to have it here by next weekend. With luck I can get my 510 working next week, and then start working on the Greenie sanding station. T...

Depends upon who you ask! :rolleyes: The 'tubes' are the same OD, but the wall thickness differs. Not a problem unless you have some from both versions and attempt to use them together/interchangeably. Very small difference, but enough to matter at times. The original has thicker walls. Well, I gue...

Ah...simple enough. Cool. I'll have to wait a few days until I can get out into the shop again, post-surgery. But I'll check that out. I'm inclined to say it's the original, because I don't recall seeing any kepnuts when I last looked at the tables.

Functionally, is there a difference?

Thanks.

Now which 510 table system do you have?

Great question! Beats me...
