    Post Changing the arbor on a slide mitre saw

    Hi all,
    just wondering if anyone knows if its possible to change the arbor size on a mitre saw. I recently brought a MIlwaukee MS216SB (need a saw with internal rails) but it has a 30mm arbor. Just wondering if its possibkle to put a 5/8 or 1" arbor on it. The guide bushing/blade stabilizer is removable, but im not sure where you'd find smaller ones.

    If you know someone or can find someone on this forum close to you, changing the strp size on the flange is doen in a few minutes.
    If you want to have the option of both or even all three sizes, just get a couple of spares for the Milwaukee.
    Cheers,
    Joe
