What's your point dusty?

Your chart appears to be the same as the one pictured online however, there is a newer version (Rev A 2/02).

If your point is that the Power Station is not listed on the chart, I said in my first post that it was not.

The newer version has a completely different layout than the one you show in your pictures. All of the SPTs are included. A special chart is included for the Strip Sander using different types of papers and the speeds (ranges) for different materials.

Other than the manual, I have not seen a definite chart for the Power Station.

No point at all, Bob. Just additional pictures.

I have never seen the new chart so I know nothing about it.

Of course, you could make PDF copies and put them in a thread for all to see.

Excellent idea Dusty except for something that has been discussed at length here - Copyright!!!!!!!!!!!!! From the luck others have had getting permission from Shopsmith, I think it would be a waste of time to try for this.

Check your PM Dusty.

Although not EVERYONE has both a SS and a PS(or CS), it would be helpful if the power station speed setting/rpm's was on that chart like the letter/rpm section at the bottom for the SS. Guess we will just have to be satisfied by sticking a chart onto the bottom of the current chart. or creating the entire set of information on a NEWLY created chart of our own making(therefore not violating CR)':(

FYI, the speed chart in the accessory catalog is only $4.55.

That is exactly right; it is only for the headstock. Since I don't own either a power station or a crafters station (and don't intend to) I haven't had a problem. How do they operate? I've never seen one in action. I assumed both only have one speed.
