Bainin,
Sorry, It was the original poster of this thread who has a 500. If your table looks like the second (510/505) or third (520) one above posted by br459 then you purchased the correct Arbor. Again, sorry for the confusion, my bad.
JPG,
The first Shopsmith Manual put out by Shposmith Inc. in 1973 lists a 10" Saw Blade. Interesting though the pictures were still the original ones used from the first Mark 5 manual with an "A" Headstock Greenie. Illustrations reference a "B" Headstock. Also the Saw Blade Guard was still an optional item.

Those pics and explanation on the rail system were very helpful - thank you.
The tool I have is a 520 system based on that. So the 1 1/4" Arbor I purchased will match both the system and blade I purchased.
Seems like there is general disagreement on the need for 5/8 vs 1 1/4" blades/arbors...but as I had only the 5/8" with the system, I will now have both and can check it out myself !
Thanks all,
