Drive center sourcing
Posted: Tue Nov 19, 2013 4:46 pm
So I bought my shopsmith a few months ago and have really enjoyed getting to know it.
I am now comfortable with most functions and have gone through the cleaning/lubrication procedures.
The other night I wanted to give the lathe a try.
Turns out the guy I purchased it from didnt have the drive center or live cup center (one with the bearing)? Sorry I am unsure of the lingo.
Other than the mother ship, are there any places out there you can find these pieces, hopefully locally?
I have tried craigslist but no one wants to sell just those parts.
Or do any of you guys have extras laying around you might be able to send a shopsmith newbie?
--If you are in the portland, oregon-ish area and have experience tuning/lubing the bandsaw, I could really use help on that (mine screams like a banshee and I cant seem to figure it out)
