I have the exploded parts diagram in the instruction manual. There is
exactly one piece which runs down from the pulley to house the chuck. It is
a single piece of metal that the manufacturer calls the "spindle". There is
no separate arbor. If you doubt me, I'd be glad to scan the diagram and
e-mail it to you.
