I may have Overlooked or just do not have the other Dovetail piece that goes on the guard itself.

I was wondering what that big guard was I have at least one of those. 😉

It's this

Yes Thanks. 🙂

I just found one of mine.

Most of the Extra stuff was in totes from every purchase. 😃

Not complaining at all.

I may find a few more now that I know what I am looking for. :cool: :cool:

A little Progress.

Final Cleaning pictures coming soon. 🙂

Cleaned the headstock out and will be looking to get a Sticker.

I know there are older threads about the (Disappearing sticker) 😃

This is some good Cleaner IMHO / Better than 409 :cool:

I have a lady that owns a Print company.

I have also noticed that some Members have made these labels.

My big Question is ??

I have a 1981 model /Then Qty 3 1984 models.

As long as there is a sticker on there for the (Not Knowing) this Speed control Knob issue.

Which year needs /Which Page # on the sticker?

This is a reference for which page the warning is on in different Owner's Guide editions. Although the copyright didn't change for 7th through 13th editions their release date did. The 7th edition is from April 1957 while the 13th edition is from January 1973. Somewhat irrelevant since they all have the warning on page 2. The release dates for the different editions are shown in blue. Do know that some of the serial numbers, shown in red, are guesstimates as to when they were made. The 8th, 10th and 12th editions are missing from the list but should be Page 2 as I believe some later Owner's Guides would be. Check the Owner's Guide you have for your Mark 5/V to see which page the CAUTION label should reference. That separate CAUTION was no longer used on the "C" Headstock.

Thanks for the info.

The only owner's manual I have does not reference this.

The duplicator manual mentions it and says Page 2.

So, I am going with page 2. :)

Okay I have made a decision to paint the bare cast inside with a light gray engine paint.

Maybe that will help with the cleaning in the future.

GetterDone

Before removing the roll pin in the tilt base, I noticed that the pin was flared. :eek:

I drilled the back side of the base to have access to the rear of the pin.

This pin was Stuck :rolleyes:

So I drilled the end of the pin till it separated at both ends,

I will replace the pin with a new one.

I just received a New to me attachment tonight.

A Shopsmith friend of mine shipped this to me over the weekend.

I got a great deal on it an extra literature of other stuff as a Plus.

As I unboxed the Strip sander,

I noticed the same thing that there was not a lot of Deburring of flashing on the cast parts from the factory. 🙂

I deburred the bottom of the strip sanding table and painted it the same color I painted the inside of this 1984 headstock.

It is in pretty good shape. 🙂

Does this slot have a Purpose?

After reading this label?

Is there an Upgrade for the strip sander?

This is it after the paint job.

The casting has a circular place like the Band saw / ??. 🙂

You are fortunate to have the metal idler pulleys. Take good care of them.

If you may need to use it with the internal sanding belt arrangement, I recommend you get one of the current plastic pulleys since then one pulley face bears against the abrasive side of the belt.

As for that mystery slot - Only the shadow knows. I do not.

chapmanruss

Hopefully some of the literature you received includes a copy of the Strip Sander Manual. Yours is currently set up for internal sanding having the one Idler Wheel below the top Tracking Wheel instead of its normal position at the back near the same level as the lower Idler Wheel.

Thanks for that Info.

We have scrap drops/extra stock of UHMW at work I am going to make a couple of spares.

I will leave the Metal wheel in the back for outside sanding setup.

Thanks for the info. :)

I had to go to U - Tube to understand what you were referring to about internal sanding.

I am learning so much from Ya'll.

I didn't get a manual.

Thanks for the info.

After you and JPG said internal I was :confused:

So I went to you Tube. :D

I understand now :)

I will make an extra wheel that I can leave in position.

I am learning so much from Ya'll

Thanks Again.

Now I got to go do some playing and Measuring. :D

GetterDone

Here is one of the pieces of literature.

I did get the Metal wheels disassembled.

Thanks JPG and Russ for your input. 😃

I am glad one of them is still in Great shape.

The other can still be deburred and put back into production. 😉

The Woodworkers Prayer is one I have received in documents with used Shopsmith purchases too.

Adding an extra Idler Wheel to have one in each of the three positions would be a bit of a time saver when switching from normal sanding to internal sanding. I don't believe having an Idler Wheel in the upper internal sanding position would interfere with normal operations. Interesting that the service parts list has the Idler Wheel (ref # 17 and part # 516399) itself as unavailable.

Unfortunately, the Strip Sander Manual is not in the list of Manuals and Instructions available here on the website for download or purchase. The PDF attached below is the parts list and drawing for the strip sander. It is the same drawing you see in the service parts section here on the Shopsmith website.

I can verify that having a new plastic/bronze sleeve bearing pulley in that upper location will NOT interfere with 'normal' operation.

Do I dare mention that they came with three platens? 37, 38 in the parts list above.

If Shopsmith doesn’t offer a strip sander manual for either download or purchase, I’ll share this PDF that I downloaded from somewhere, sometime.

My Growth Rings on YouTube also has a good video or two on strip sander operations.

Upon looking at the manual I realized that two plastic idler 'wheels' are a good idea. :o

After you metioned the internal sanding.

I started the net search and I seen those on the Tube. :D

That is now a Must Have.

I have to search for More material at work tommorrow. :)

I am loving this new found Attachment :) :)

Ya'll keep feeding the info cause I am Lovin' it. :D

MGR is where I was elightened :rolleyes: ;) :D

After JPG and Russ told me it was set up for Internal sanding.

I was like Wow.

This is probably going to be my favorite attachment ;)
