saw blade arbor

Post by Gumbo »

I have recently inherited a Mark V Shopsmith, I'm having fun learning how to use it. I am aware that there are numerous upgrades that can be done and will probably get around to doing those, but I was wondering if there is a 30mm arbor for the saw blades as I already have plenty of blades and dado cutters that size, but nothing other than a single rusty blade that came with the machine

No, at least made by SS. I have never seen SS arbors in metric sizes made by anyone. You may be able to find an insert to adapt the SS 1 1/4" hole arbor down to 30mm or have a machine shop make you some.

I am guessing that you live in the UK or Europe. The Shopsmith distributor for that region is Martins Supplies, https://martins-supplies.co.uk/presta/
They have 5/8" arbors that have been modified to fit 30mm blades. :cool:
Get either the one for the Mark V-500 or the Mark V-510/520 as is appropriate for your machine. :)
