Excellent news! That arbor should last forever.
Given the wheels you listed, you might want to try to trade an 80 for a steel 220. Or sell one and use the proceeds toward a 220 - just so you don't blaze through coarse grit belts between the 80 and the 600 Nova.
We have an arbor with a 220 / 8" expando setup. It's perfect after the rough grinding is done. You could do small batches to avoid wheel swaps for each cab.

That makes sense. Thanks for the advice. |

Way to go Perk!  I bet you're gonna be producing some amazing cabs! I eagerly look forward to seeing your work! * I agree with Vince about the "small batches". I have to change disks every time I change grit...so I have a tendency to do 6-10 cabs at a time. I'm really aware now of the condition of each cab before I move onto the next grit...in order to hopefully not miss any scratches, which makes me have to change the disk to go back down a grit... |

I CAN'T wait to see pictures of your cabs. I remember when I got my Gene and how excited I was. Good for you!

Thanks! I just tried a batch but the water sprayed everywhere so I'm gonna need to figure something new out. I got to the 800 unless I have to go back but it worked well besides how wet it was. I only did a 3 cab batch until the dop broke off one so down to two. I'm gonna be posting a tread on keeping the water down in a second. |

I would love too, but I almost washed away my garage. I had no idea either. Thank gosh I got "caught". I need to figure out those darn spreaders. |

That is actually how I looked! I got wetter than the wheels did. |
