Hi
I now have a 1973 500 and a 1997 510. There seem to be 2 different arbor lengths involved: 1 1/2" and 3". Which one is for which machine and can they be interchanged. SS seems to only sell one version of the sanding disk, so it would seem that the sanding disks, at least, are interchangeable, but I'd be a little concerned about the saw blades, even though both sizes of arbor came with my used 510.
Thanks
George

Re: Arbor length
The 'shorter' arbors are for use with a '500' or Mark 5 model and older Mark VII.
The 'longer' arbors are for use with the 505/10/20/Mark 7 models.
The steel sanding disks also have different length arbors. The arbors are available separately to convert the disk.
Only the steel disks are intended for 'in slot' sanding. The older cast aluminum disks are only used off the side(left) of the table.
Adjusting the carriage and/or the quill extension allows using either arbor on either machine. However the 'automatic' blade in slot alignment is only obtained with the proper arbors for the machine at hand.

Re: Arbor length
Very well said. Only thing I would clarify is that the aluminum sanding disk does not have the removable arbor. Found this out today when trying to figure out what the upgrade sanding disk arbor is used for.JPG wrote:The 'shorter' arbors are for use with a '500' or Mark 5 model and older Mark VII.
