Any ideas of how to set up a spacer? I don't know of any local machine
shops. for lack of a better idea, I could use a two blade stabilizers and
some dado shims.

I've used 1/2" lexan & other bits of thin plastic, cardboard and
paper. Cut out a 2-inch dia. circle with a hole saw on the drill press
and then bore out the centre hole to 5/8" (or whatever your arbour
diameter is).

Note that a 1/2" spacer won't give you a 1/2" tenon as the carbide saw
teeth project further than the sides of the blade. Hence the need to
add thinner plastic or cardboard shims.
