I have a Shopsmith #555077 Dust Chute Upgrade kit without the instructions. If anyone can get me a copy please PM me. I'm hoping that there are instructions on the drilling required.

Thanks, Dave

Is it possible to use 1/2" shank bits with the speed increaser? I see an adapter for 1/4" bits. But, it says for use with 1/4" and 1/2" bits :confused: . I was just curious if I'm reading that correctly and if anyone else is using 1/2" shank bits.

Please let me know.

Thanks, Dave

Turns out that it wasn't gray at all. It was a 1954 Greenie as you all suspected. So I am now the proud owner of another Shopsmith.....the addiction continues.

I called Shopsmith because I thought it might fall into that group of numbers in the 70's with no data. They told me it was built in May of 1954.

I am looking at buying a Mark V (Gray) with a serial number of 267477. I’ve looked at the Shopsmith web site serial number listing, but can’t seem to match that up to a gray machine. Am I missing something? Any info on the year this was made would be appreciated

Here is a picture of what I bought.
Sorry I was probably premature in asking my question.
I'll figure it out when I get it home.

How does the Jointer mount to the 10ER and get power. I have Mark V's but this is new to me. Found this on Craigslist for $125 with all of the attachments, mounted on a factory stand and casters, it also has the speed changer. I bought it with intentions of restoring. Inspired by the restorations I ...

Awesome Job!! Looks like a lot of detailed work for an outstanding completed project.

Are plans for this still available? If so where could I buy a set?
