3/8ths Thru Hole Saw Arbor

[Monk]

I needed a 3/8ths saw arbor for a Turner's Cube project I'm working on. It was going to take longer to ship than I wanted to wait, so I made one. I turned down a length of 1/2 inch hex 304 stainless until I lost the flats (about 90 thousandths) but left a collar to butt the blade against. Then I drilled it for the 5X.80 screw, and cut off the end for the cap. Next, I drilled the end for the cap to slide into, turned down the cap to 3/8ths, and countersunk it.




Then I knurled the bottom of the shaft and turned it to 7/16ths. It turned out OK, I think, and works.

I'll post on the "Miller's Cube" when I get the undercuts done.

Thanks, Billy. It seems that most of my recent projects have been tools to make other tools....
