Newbie just got a 10er

[jbkdg1221]

Hello all, just found you and hope I'm in the right place. I haven't done much woodworking since HS, but picked it up a bit this summer. For a little background I am on disability and was looking for hobbies to occupy my time. My wife and got hooked on auctions and I started picking up some tools. I began with a tablesaw and have added drillpress, planner, bandsaw, scrollsaw, compound mitersaw, and this weekend I bought a shopsmith 10er for $40. I didn't know much and have been reading what I can find. It looks like I am only missing the two centers (drive and cup?). I am looking for any hints, tricks and advice anyone can spare. Thanks

Any of the shopsmith centers will fit. The tailstock has a MT2(#2 Morse Taper) socket, and the quill has a 5/8" shaft.

Welcome to the 'club'.

Thanks so much. I will do a search and find a set.

There's a motherlode of 10ER info at VintageMachinery.org. This link will take you right to the page you want. In addition to manuals for the machine and accessories, there are a number of "Shopsmith Shavings" newsletters that are chock full of tips for using the machine.

Does this fall under the category "if there are no pictures, then it didn't happen?"

I don't see any pics. Did you resize them if necessary and upload them?
