Before all the replies about Craftsman junk, etc. let me say, this is an older (1978 or so) craftsman table saw that has been just fine for me.
I need to replace the arbor bearings and have figured out how to get everything loose but can't get the arbor out of the housing. The problem seems to be a woodruff key on the end of the arbor that I can't get to budge. I have tapped the end of it, used Smash, had a friend try, etc. but nothing seems to move it.
Anyone had a similar problem? I really hate to buy a new saw when this one just needs bearings. I read the article on Woodworker's Bench Notes about replacing the bearing, etc. which was very helpful but there was no woodruff key to deal with in that description.
Thanks
