The arbor hole is not keyed, it's perfectly round. Is that so that the
10" aluminum oxide cutoff wheel might slide instead of shatter/break on
startup?

By the way... Do all miter saws start abruptly? Mainly curious.

Thanks.

I bought (cheap) a batch of DeWalt 7" dish wheels that slipped on
their crimped hubs under a heavy grinding load. A home-made hub that
screwed together tighter salvaged them. They weren't a problem at
start-up.

Norton just gave me a couple of their new cutoff disks to try -- one
for my 3-1/2" Makita angle-head grinder and the other for my 6"
Milwaukee (I dismantle bridges in my spare time). They have the same
round, crimped hubs, and they don't seem very strong.

Mine is just a home-made version of this:

since I couldn't find one locally. The nut is a standard 7/8-14 one
cut thinner.

\That's very nice. I have two adapters I made for my Makita, which has
a 10mm hub and is a pain for that reason.

I have one adapter that sleeves 5/8" sanding disks down to 10 mm, and
I made a circle cutter to cut my old 6" disks (from my Porter-Cable
sander, mostly) to 4" dia., 10mm hole, for use on the Makita.

Did I mention that I'm a cheapskate? g

The sucker isn't cutting aluminum.

Trying to cut a square aluminum tube about 1 1/2 inches with 1/16 inch
thick walls. The thing is pressing the wall down more than it is
cutting. The disc is slightly warped, too.

Making stuff like this is fun if you don't have to do it every day for
someone else. A sampling of my home metalwork got me a job at Segway.

A saw blade for wood cuts aluminum just fine, if noisily. You don't
need an abrasive blade, which may be loading up.

I resized an aluminum storm door and its glass and screened inserts
smaller with a wood-cutting bandsaw.
