hand wheels for M500

Post by kashman »

Since I use a cabinet table saw, I have no need to upgrade my 500 to a 510 or 520. The one item I would love is to replace the stick levers on the table height adjustment and slide position with hand wheels. I understand that the hand wheels for the upgraded models will not fit the 500. Is there anyone out there who has modified the 500 to receive the Shopsmith wheels or hand wheels from an outside supplier?

Yes(with some loss of total range). I will link to a thread if I can find it.

Thanks Bingo -- that was just terrific. The pictures were the key. My search did not turn up this original thread. Probably my search terms were off. Thanks for taking the time to direct me to the original thread

Got to be better than addressing you as JPG40504. More droid like than C3PO or R2D2. May the force be with you. Appreciate
