    Help: Tablesaw out of commission

    I set up my Ridgid table saw with my Freud stacked dado head today and a shim got stuck in the arbor thread and ruined the threads on my arbor. Has anybody ever replaced the arbor on a Ridgid TS? Is it hard to replace? Can I just put a washer between the nut and the arbor flange?
