In a recent post I included a picture showing the Shopsmith arbors that was incomplete. Below are pictures of all the Shopsmith arbors I know of except the 1/2" Router Chuck P/N 505597 version 1 and is the only one I do not have. Also posted here is the PDF I created listing all the arbors plus additional information. I believe this list is complete.

The following note is incorrect and I cannot edit it out

I hope this information is helpful in identifying arbors for the Shopsmith tools. If you find any errors let me know so I can update my lists.

Below, for reference is the Sawsmith only arbors. The three hex nut style were for the RAS and the other that looks like 555608 was for the table saw it was also P/N 555572.

This and the arbor identification are great resources. Now when someone has a question on either item the info is all in one place. Great job and thanks for posting.

I noticed the Shopsmith Keyless 5/8" drill chuck (556273) wasn't included in your picture, but I assume this might be because you don't have one yet. I am curious if this keyless chuck is manufactured by Shopsmith, or if this chuck is an off the shelf chuck from another brand and just mated to an adapter (JT3 mount perhaps) to fit the Shopsmith. I notice there is no Shopsmith logo on this part # 556273.
