This is for a 16" table saw with a 1" arbor.
The face of the arbor flange has about 0.008" runout. The arbor itself has about 0.002" runout, but it doesn't increase as you measure farther out from the flange, all the way to the threads. Seems like a consistent 0.002" regardless of where you measure. So I am hoping that the arbor is not bent, and the flange is just not perfectly seated or not perfectly made. ???
I tried to use a puller on the flange to remove it for cleaning and inspection, but it wouldn't budge. Because this is a direct drive saw I hesitate to use heat which could transfer into the motor parts.
So what I would like to do, is remove the runout from the flange in place, by running the motor and using a file or stone across the face of the flange. I'm not sure whether the stone or file would work better. And is it asking too much expecting to remove 0.008" this way? The motor rpm is 3600.
Thanks for any input.
