Hi,
I know this is a silly question but what is the equivalent of an arbor in the uk. As I'm getting better at cabbing, I need a bigger machine but do not have a big budget. Where should I look for arbours, flanges etc. in the UK? I have a motor and pulley system already.
Thanks in advance.
Paula

You might look at places that sell industrial bearings. Good luck!

I always get the term arbor and mandrels mixed up they may be one in the same ---a machined rod inserted through ball bearings --- Ace Hardware & Grainger in the U.S carry them, as an example good luck !
