Herethe saw is inits down position. The spindle is made froma 20 mm shaft, a flange is welded and turned to the end, the blade is locked onto itwith a screw. The arbour is perhaps the most important component of such saws. It's made froma 20 mm steel rod. I have a very good friend who has a metal lathe, and itwas made byhim. We work together often, I canhelp himwith design, and another friend of ours has a goodgarage for welding etc... Butany small machine shop canhelp, it takes onlya short time to turn, weld and turn. I used 20 mm rod because it fits right in the cheap bearings, there is no need to machine the main shaft. I can buy this rod locally in shortlengths. The bearings have locking screws to clamp tothe shaft. A 40 mm steel disk with a 20 mm hole is welded onthe end of the shaftThen it is turned onmetal lathe onall surfaces. A recess of 30 mm is turned to fit the blade (the hole onblade is 30 mm) to a depth a littleless thanthe blade is thick. Thena 7 mm hole is drilled in the end of the shaft (onthe lathe) and a M8 threadis tapped. A skilled machinist suchas my friend ensures thatthe blade sits exactly andruns true. Thenwe made a small disk of 35 mm diameter with an8 mm hole. This disk locks the blade onto the arbourwith a screw. It is importantkeep in mindwhich direction the arbour turns. In my case it rotates counter clockwise as seen fromthe blade end. The screw has right hand thread, so the rotation of the arbour will tightenthe screw. My saw canbe tilted to the left. For right tilting saws, the blade attaches onthe other side of the arbour, and it turns clockwise seen from that side. Counter clockwise screws or nuts are used for right-tilting saws. My motor is installed so thatthe beltis justbehind the blade. I get more roomfor tilting with this design. The beltpulleys are standard wheels with a tapered collet to lock on the shaft. They are surprisinglycheap. When I got my arbour installed I fine tuned it exactlyso thatthe bladeis parallel to the miter slotand perpendicularto the table top. Mostsaws use trunnions for the blade tilt, but these are difficult to make, so I used hinges instead. I played with a computer to study this bladetilting questionand found a combination of hinge position and how far the blade shouldbe from the hinge pivot. The slotfor the blade is 6.2 mm wide and accommodates all blade tiltangles.

Thick steel plates are screwed to the frame, and the hinges are mounted to these plates.
The table top is hingedon the back. I had to route some recesses toallow for the maximumcutting height. Mytilting router lift is also installed onthe table top.

For sawdustremoval I made a hood of polycarbonate. This connects tomy vacuumsystem from behind the saw. It captures dust betterthan myfriend's expensive saw.
