The new SS Molder Head (556213) uses different thickness cutters and the head itself no longer has a set screw for direct attachment to the spindle. It must use an arbor and an arbor is required on even the old heads to use on the model 510/505/520/M7 with the lower guard in place.

Soooooo we think this is an old one. I'll have to measure the grooves and see what thickness it is this weekend. Thanks guys.
Re: SS Molding Head and Craftsman Cutters
Mine measured out at 1/8" so I have an older model. Thanks guys.
