I don't have or know that saw. Photos would help, in fact by taking photos of the arbor, you will probably discover where that adjustment is made. Lynn

flminer56 - Don't buy new wheels. Re-diamond them. I've been doing so since 2010. It cost me about $3 to do an 8" x 3" belt on an expando drum. Here's a thread about it -http://forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/thread/27289/refurbishing-diamond-wheels Please read the whole thing. There are lots of opinions & methods, some better than others. My method doesn't require expensive epoxy. I mix on a glass surface to eliminate waste. I don't remove the wheels (belts on expando drums), just re-coat them in place. Lynn

@hookedonrocks - That's some of the coolest Morgan Hill that I've ever seen. I love the daisies, but I call them sunflowers. I love the black & red spots. I hope that the chunk is as good as the one you cabbed. Lynn

lorenzo Some 7" tile blades have a diamond shaped knockout, but it still accommodates a round shaft. I think it may be 3/4 or 7/8". If you're stacking a bunch of tile blades it's heavy, so the bigger the better. Lynn

Cool! Does that first piece have fire, or is it just root beer color? Lynn

lorenzo - I'm not sure the configuration of the grinder you're designing, but 5/8" might be undersized. Many machines have 1" shafts & bearings. Lynn

I'm usually done with winter before it begins. I'm a California boy transplanted to Utah. I could live without snow.
This year we've had a mild one. The past few days I've opened my office windows a bit in the afternoon. Spring is in the air & I'm loving it! Lynn
