arbor bushing

Don't the saw blade manufacturers have them?

Not online but at Harbor Freight....as much as I hate to reccomend it.

My neighbor bought himself a set of tool arbor bushings at HF, he knows I hate the the place & the crap they sell.

He bought me a set of bushings as well.

Wouldn't the bushing need to be as thin, or slightly less, as the saw blade? Make your own with a half dollar coin or an old saw blade. Would a slice of 1/2" galvanized pipe work?

I have the same problem. An old Craftsman/King Seeley 8 1/4 inch table saw with half inch arbor. I got it cheap at a garage sale, I suspect the previous owner thought the saw was defective as he had a 5/8 hole blade on it with no bushing - the vibration was awesome.

I found bronze sleeve bearings at the local Ace hardware with 1/2 inside and 5/8 outside diameter. Made an arbor out of a carriage bolt and couple of washers which holds the sleeve in my drill press. Then I hold a hacksaw to the spinning sleeve bearing and slice off eighth inch bushings. I've used up three of the bronze bearings, made at least a dozen bushings. Bushed up an entire Freud Dado set this way.
