My table saw arbor nut just plain wore out on me. I noticed the other day when I gave it the last torque it skipped a little. After doing that a couple of times it gave up the ghost and couldn't hang on any more. So while my TS is out of order I have a nut on order. But it kind of piqued my curiosity. Obviously the arbor is hardened more than the nut allowing the nut to wear out and not the arbor itself. Does anyone know the ratio of hardness between the nut and arbor? Any guesses?
