LOL…congrats on your pics!

It does indeed look like you have a miscut arbor. Getting a properly cut arbor is a solid fix if they’ll send you one, and if you’re up to it. I have heard of folks filling that miscut thread with JB Weld, and claiming good results….it’s not as elogant, but for $3, and 5 minutes of effort, it might do the trick. You can search the Ridgid forum for more info.
