So I have three arbors that I thought were for the dado/molder stuff....until I looked closer and noticed a difference. One is longer, all the rest is the same...washers, keyed slot and washer, spacers and diameter...just the length is different. I suspect the one that isn't black was for a 10ER...but I dont know that.
Clue? Thought?

Re: Mystery Arbors
I think all that the non-black oxide one indicates is that it was not produced by SS Inc.
This arbor has changed over the years.

Re: Mystery Arbors
The 10er arbor looks the same as the non black one but doesn’t have the slot/keyed washer, they was added when they started making the Mark 5's (greenies).ibskot wrote:So I have three arbors that I thought were for the dado/molder stuff....until I looked closer and noticed a difference.

Re: Mystery Arbors
Thanks. Why would one be longer? Does this indicate another purpose?

Re: Mystery Arbors
I don't know either and I cannot get to my arbors to check. However, I think the longer one is a Shaper Arbor and the others are the Dado Arbor.ibskot wrote:So I have three arbors that I thought were for the dado/molder stuff....until I looked closer and noticed a difference.

Re: Mystery Arbors
Dusty, the threads shaft on a shaper arbor is thinner. Isn't it 1/2 vs 5/8 inch on a dado/molder arbor?
Re: Mystery Arbors
Excluding the one that might be for the 10E/ER I believe we have heard that the longer one was for the 500 style machines and turned out to be too long for the 510/520 machines and was shorten(think tie bar and shield). The shorter version can still hit on the those machines but was much worst on the longer one.
I have one of the longer ones somewhere, something I got back in the late 1970's or very early 1980's. The newer ones have all been the shorter version. I don't have an actual year for the change but guess it was about the time the 510 came out or slightly later.

I don't know! Mine are all packed (prematurely) for relocation and I can't go look. Even my documentation is stuck away somewhere.ibskot wrote:Dusty, the threads shaft on a shaper arbor is thinner. Isn't it 1/2 vs 5/8 inch on a dado/molder arbor?

Some how, that does not seem logical to me but like I said early, I don't know. The second table insert maybe.
