   Bo:

   That is a 7/8" nut used to hold the arbor in the shell. Make sure the bearing retainer ring is tite. You should use a spanner wrench but if careful you can use a pin punch and lightly tap it with a hammer. Use caution as not to hit the threads. Then tighten the nut to around 20 - 25 ft. lbs. That is about what you can apply with a 6 inch long socket wrench. The older Unisaws used a cuped washer behind that nut and after tightening you would bend an ear over the nut. I think Delta stoped using the lock washer in the mid '90s when they redesigned the arbor bracket and went to a thicker bearing retainer ring. I made a tool to tighten the ring and nut after having the same problem on a couple of saws.
