I have a 20+ year old B&D miter saw. Nothing fancy. Take a 9" blade and has a 5/8" arbor.
I need to make nice cuts on some aluminum channels for under cabinet LED lighting.
So I need an aluminum cutting blade. 9" is an odd size even looking on Amazon. I found one but has 1" arbor. So I bought a 1" to 5/8" arbor adapter.
The blade is held in place by cup shape washers.
Loose the arbor adapter could easily slide to the right or left still staying within the cup washer.
However when tightened the blade will hopefully be held tight by the cup washers and it would not matter if the arbor adapter slid to the left or right so it was no longer inside the blade 1" hole. The cup washers won't let the blade move.
So basically the arbor adapter is only needed until the cup washers clamp the blade tight.
Comments?
My alternatives are to get a blade for my 10" table saw and install a 220v outlet for the saw.
Buy a Milwaukee M18 cordless miter saw.
Find some washers or additional arbor adapters to go on either side of the one in the blade hole.
I need to cut maybe 10 aluminum channels then done. May not use it again.
