    Default Arbor / Bore size : 5/8" Vs 30mm

    Hi Guys,

    I'm looking at upgrading my Carbatec contractor saw with a Harvey 3HP table saw. I've noticed that they come with a choice of either 5/8" or 30mm bore.
    I already own a good quality rip cut saw blade and a dado stack with 5/8" arbor. I'm wondering if there's a benefit of going with the 30mm bore option Vs 5/8". Especially with the extra horse power in the Harvey to my previous table saw.
    If I go with the 30mm bore I'd have to buy new blades.

    Thanks in advance,

    Anatoly

    I have 5/8 arbor on my 3hp saw. Never been a problem. IN fact I think its easier to get blades for

    Any saw doctor should be able to enlarge the bore in your existing blades. Also, if you want to buy pro/industrial grade blades you'll want to go with 30mm, it's pretty much the standard size.
