When using a small arbor with your hole saw, one that doesn't have dual pins & a locknut, I have found that by wrapping a piece of solid copper wire around the base of the threads allows a gap between the arbor & the hole saw bit. This stops steel to steel connection and makes removing the bit easier.

Cleaning up my garage today, I was going through my blade collection. I've had this blade hanging on my wall for about 15 years. I never could figure out the oversized arbor hole. Till now! Seems my Shopsmith destiny was written long ago! Note logo at top. Just today I noticed the logo.

OK folks, here's the deal. I went to an auction today and stole bought a Ryobi oscillating spindle sander (the Powermatic went way too high). Anyway, the sander came with a box of sanding tubes, one of the arbors for the Powermatic (boy, is the guy who outbid me gonna be ticked), and this inflatable/expandable arbor. I can't figure out for sure what piece of equipment you use it on. It is 6" long (or tall), the plate at the top is 4 1/4" across and it has an air valve at the end to expand it with. The other end has internal threads and they measure .922" or 23.49 MM. The best I can tell it is about 12 threads to an inch but don't hold me to that. It has that Grizzly paint look and there a bunch of Grizzly tools at this auction. So, what is it?

Anyone seen my Uni arbor? After listening to my 1947 Unisaw arbor go chirp, chirp, I decided to tear it down and replace the arbor bearings. Actually, it wasn't too hard to field dress it from the machine and the bearings came out pretty easily. After I got it apart, it felt like I had a couple of square balls in the rear bearing. When I was tearing it down, I could tell by the paint marks that this was the original set of bearings. I sure hope I can get 69 years out of the next set. The tear down also gave me an opportunity to clean the worm gears on the tilt and elevation. Now we wait on the bearings.
