Needs more info - eg: These things appear to be measured in units like 1M or "Morse" - eg "1MORSE ARBOR" - whatever that means... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.45.103.88 (talk) 16:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The correspondance implied between mandrel and arbor is incorrect. Whilst the terms are commonly used interchangeably they are not so in the correct analysis. An arbor is for holding a tool , such as the polishing buff wheel in the article, that rotates the tool. A mandrel holds a tool but does not rotate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ytongs (talk • contribs) 14:02, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
