My Bison 1" R8 slitting saw arbor arrived today, and as always with
Bison, it's a sight to behold. Each spacer is polished, along with the
1" shaft segment. Putting a saw on was a damn tight fit, it was either
in-line, or it wasn't going to fit...

The end nut is a higher class of fit than you normally get on a 1" bolt,
so much so that some small swarf in the threads barely larger than
pencil eraser residue kept the nut from hand-tightening. After I cleaned
the threads out, it threads on and off like satin...

I bought a R-8 slitting saw arbor from wholesale tools. I was wondering how
it accepted so many different id's but it was cheap and I bought it.

It had a bunch of interlocking popup centers that had so much runout that
maybe two teeth on a blade got into the cut. I ended up carving out the
popup centers and handed it to my uncle who made a .373 x .998" bushing to
make it fit the slitting blade he wanted to use to slit the brass bushing he
had made for his 1887 or so era lathes headstock.

Do you have a url for what you bought? I'm still in the market for a decent
saw arbor.
