Bill, maybe next time I get a vacation I will load it up and bring it to
you. It's only a couple of thousand miles. G

Ah ha! kind of as I suspected. something is fishy in Shopsmith land.
A 5/8 drill should drill about a thousandth oversize, so drilling a
5/8 hole should lead to a good fit on a 5/8 spindle - but in Lyndell's
case it didn't - so we are "two amigos" (apologies to Disney) in
search of the invisible messanger to deliver the answer as to why this
should be. Meanwhile, experiments continue........

Mac, Bill noble needs a second opinion on the shopsmith shaft
diameter. My
SS reads .6171" (about 1/128" shy of 5/8") with my el cheapo vernier
caliper. Ditto for the inside diameter of all my arbors and I have
some newer ones like a 1-1/4" sawblade adator from a mark V.

Where are you measuring? Can't find my el cheapo, but everything says
5/8" and I have adaptors from other sources claiming 5/8" and they all
fit.
