Does anyone know where I can purchase a spindle lock collar for a 3520 or 3520A. I know that powermatic replaced a lot of the original cast ones with machined steel ones.
Thanks for trying!I was shocked when I asked Powermatic tech support about the availability of a part and the tech had me hold while he looked it up on Toolpartspro.com.
My 3520A manual says your part is 3520b-264 and Tool Parts Pro has one for just under $53. https://toolpartspro.com/powermatic...001-parts/powermatic-3520b-264-locking-collar
My apologies, I looked at the wrong diagram on my computer and gave you the 3520B part number. The part for a 3520a is #3097007 and tool parts pro does not have it available. Sorry.
It’s starting to look like that’s a good option! ThanksYears ago I searched and searched, found listings but none in stock. I bought a "shaft coupler" and made one. Not in a position to take pics, and the ones I did take died with my old computer. (back-up back-up back-up...) As I remember, the set screw was in the wrong place so I had to cut a little off the end, then cut off the piece I needed, then drilled two 5/8" holes because I had no easy way to cut slots and I thought holes would be stronger. Can't remember it being that difficult, but it was a while back...
Here is a link to a picture of a coupler
