Another question. If i was to put an arbor in a saw blade and lay it flat in a drawer how deep would my drawer need to be for that arbor to fit?

Quill od is 1 3/ 4"

the 'height' will vary with the type of arbor with 510/520 being the tallest.

I leave it for others to post the actual di!ension(s).

Thanks JPG... So there is a different arbor for 510/520 than there is for the 500?

Casters are not included in a new purchase. They are an option to purchase. I would also recommend purchasing the set with the 3" wheels.

Good to know Brenda Thanks

Oh, yeah...there was one more thing...While in the shop this afternoon I realized there is another small item you might find extremely useful - the Adjustable Stop Collar. I find it makes cutting to a specific depth much, much easier. Can also be used for fine adjustments in drill press mode.

The '500' arbors are 'shorter'. Because the table is narrower and the blade slot is closer.

My first 5/8" arbor that I bought was actually for a 505/510/520 system. At the time I bought the arbor, I was unaware of the dimensional difference. It works on my 500, as long as I adjust table carriage and quill positions accordingly. I have since bought a 5/8" arbor meant specifically for a 500, and is about 5 mm shorter. Any arbor meant for a blade with an 1-1/4" diameter hole will be shorter. I estimate the longer 505/510/520 arbor for a blade with a 5/8" hole to be 57 mm. Don't make any drawers for storing blades mounted on an arbor too tight of a fit, as blade thicknesses vary too.

The difference is 3/8".

The overall length has nothing to do with the mounting hole size.

However some older arbors have nuts and have threaded posts that are longer.

57 mm is about 2 1/4".

Soooo Arbor with Blade we're looking at 2 1/4"? Correct?
