As in the past I feel I must emphasize the fact that I am not a machinist,I also have to include I am not a draftsman. I need help in making an arbor to hold (As Victor Machinery defines them) Saws,Screw Slotting. If these blades come under a different definition a photo of two of these saws will follow.
As mentioned above I am not a draftsmen,however I felt I had to make an attempt to put something on paper to better understand what I am trying to accomplish. Let's start with the following photo
The slot shown was done with a hack saw it's off center,crude and not wide enough for a standard screw driver. I feel I found a possible solution. Victor Machinery has a family of saw blades called Saws,Screw Slotting, the OD = 2.250" , ID = .625 ,Thkns = Varies
The two blades shown,one is .032 Thk and the other is .051 Thk. The key slot is .125" wide by approx .090" deep. I intended to use .125 key stock and the .125 end mill was purchased for that purpose.
Now to the arbor that I hope can be made to use these saw blades,refer to the following drawing;
I tried to present this dwg the best way I know how,anyone who would like to respond and has any questions please indicate in your response.
The .625" shoulder will have to be slotted for the .125 x .180 key,just how is a good question. I was hoping to use the .125 end mill to slot some point on the circumferance of the .625 shoulder. Once I can do that I would reduce the width of the shoulder.
Making the arbor itself is not a problem,what is the problem is the key,milling a .125 slot in the .625 shoulder for the .125 x.180 key and have it permanently installed without falling out. I tested the .125 end mill noted above on a piece of scrap and inserted a piece of .125 key stock into it, all I can say sloppy fit. Using a feeler gauge I tried to measure the width of the slot and it is about .132" wide. I feel the quill on my machine is in pretty good shape,the end mill was under $8.00???? ANY COMMENTS.
Also,slotting the cover to match up with the .625"shoulder.
Is there a better way to do this any comments ,suggestions greatly appreciated
