Has anyone had to change out the Arbor on the Raytech 10" Slab Saw? While installing a new blade I noticed a noticeable wiggle in the new blade. Removed it and found that the shaft was loose, the arbor mount was tight the play was between the shaft and the sleeve bearing. I sent an e-mail to the new owner's of Raytech, Scott Enterprises to see if they carry the part.
Is the part, I assume the sleeve bearing?, something I can buy and install myself or do I need to find the complete Arbor assembly?
Thanks
Henry

Thanks Henry I ordered a new Raytech 10" saw arbor/bearing assembly from Rick Scott a few months ago and just got around to installing it a couple of weeks ago. I would imagine someone with a bearing press could replace just the bearings and still use the same arbor and housing as long as the arbor isn't too worn where it makes contact with the bearings. But I don't have a bearing press and haven't tried doing that yet. I saved the old arbor/bearing assembly and figured I'd take it to a machine shop and let them give it a try at some point in the future if their estimate for doing so isn't too high. Larry C. |

Also forgot to mention check for machining burrs on the new arbor if your order one. My new one had a burr on the 5/8" diameter shoulder where the blade mounts and had to be filed off before the blade could be mounted properly.

QuailRiver I have sent an e-mail asking about the Arbor but the e-mail bounced back. Maybe I will call today. Can you tell me what the cost was? Thanks

Thanks The cost for the new arbor/bearing assembly was $105. Not sure why the email is kicking back but if you have any other questions that you don't wish to post in the open forum then you can use the "Message" function of this site linked at the blue bar near the top of the page.
