I've found them in all the usual suspect places in the past - the BORGs, ACE
Hardware, etc. They are common enough - you shouldn't have any problem
finding them.

Not online but at Harbor Freight....as much as I hate to reccomend it.
My neighbor bought himself a set of tool arbor bushings at HF, he
knows I hate the the place & the crap they sell.
He bought me a set of bushings as well.

Don't the saw blade manufacturers have them?

I have the same problem. An old Craftsman/King Seeley 8 1/4 inch table
saw with half inch arbor. I got it cheap at a garage sale, I suspect
the previous owner thought the saw was defective as he had a 5/8 hole
blade on it with no bushing - the vibration was awesome.
I found bronze sleeve bearings at the local Ace hardware with 1/2 inside
and 5/8 outside diameter. Made an arbor out of a carriage bolt and
couple of washers which holds the sleeve in my drill press. Then I hold
a hacksaw to the spinning sleeve bearing and slice off eighth inch
bushings. I've used up three of the bronze bearings, made at least a
dozen bushings. Bushed up an entire Freud Dado set this way.

Wow, after all that BS, finally an answer to the man's question.

Google responds"Did you mean: SAW BLADE BUSHING 1/2 in to 5/8 in?"

NOTE: If you're ordering only bushings your order will be sent USPS to
save on shipping cost. When you go through the ordering process ignore
the shipping amount - it will be adjusted to a flat rate of $2.50 when
your credit card is charged. If you would prefer Priority Mail for an
additional $4.80 email [email protected]
