Shopsmith Forums

Hi,
I just got this new, to me shopsmith and learning about it. I been doing a lot of reading and searching. There are a few tools/parts that came with mine and i can't figure out what they are for. Can someone please tell me. I attached a photo.

#6 looks like the chisel sharpening jig: 555204

Is #1 part of a Universal Tool Rest?

Ed is correct. #2 is a miter gauge stop rod. I don't think 4, 5 and 6 are Shopsmith parts.

#2 505629 Miter Gauge Stop Rod

Doc

I believe John meant to say 3, 4 and 5, not

I don't think 4, 5 and 6 are Shopsmith parts.

and I agree with him that 3, 4 and 5 are not Shopsmith parts. 3 has some markings that I cannot read but may be a clue as to what it belongs to.

As others have said

6 is the Lathe Chisel Sharpening Jig. It works quite well for putting a nice edge on your Lathe Chisels.

1 is the mounting base for the Universal Lathe Tool Rest. Check the link Ed provided to the catalog page for the Universal Lathe Tool Rest to see if you have any of the other parts to it. It's a nice accessory if you have all of it.

2 is the Miter Gauge Stop Rod. It attaches to the Miter as shown on page 38 (top left drawing) in the Mark V 500 Summary Manual linked below. Do note that the actual page 38 is the 25th page in the summary manual as it is not a complete manual with all pages.
