Help with Myford Saw Table?

Answering my own question, I think that I have worked out that the 'protractorish thing' is in fact a crosscut sledge. In use it would be oriented perpendicular to the saw and used to push the narrow dimension across the blade - hence it slides rather than locks in the 'mystery groove'.

Have the saw table but no arbour,, can anybody help me with as myford s7 saw table arbour, or the measurements of it to make myself.

Mine used an arbor held either in the chuck and a running centre in the tailstock, or you can use a spindle centre with catchplate and driver with a tailstock centre.

From memory the std blade was 5" diameter by 1/16" thick with a 1" bore so the arbor has to have flanges to suit

Myford-lathes have an arbor for sale @ £65-00. Robert Butler

If you look back in this thread for Hillclimber's post of 11 Sep there is a picture of his table bits and the arbor is on one side.

Basically 8" of 1" dia round bar driven between centres by a catchplate, with clamp washers at one end (which is threaded 1/2" dia for about an inch or so.) Clamp washers are the usual sawblade clamp type as sen on most small sawbenches, with a rebate on one and a spigot on the other to match the bore of the sawblade.

I can do you a picture with more detail if you need it.
