Hi I just got a 510 (I am pretty sure) and box of parts, need help identifying parts, for instance the arbor for the saw....and on that matter can you use any 10" blade or are the holes in shopsmith blades bigger than like a home depot one...any one in the central CT area willing to teach a newby the ins and outs of the machine? Thanks Fred

Welcome!

There is a wealth of information here: http://www.shopsmith.net/forums/showthread.htm?t=7092

The shopsmith blades use a 1.25" saw arbor. For you to use most 5/8" saw blades (those at the big box stores) you will need this arbor: http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/item ... tem=555608

The 500 saw arbors are shorter than the 510/520 so if you get one, make sure it's the right one.
