The shims are placed against the SIDES of the tubes. The tube clamp exerts outward pressure to the tubes. The final position is determined by a small boss extending out from the outer interior surface of the end casting. The shims essentially make that boss longer. The shims are necessary since his...

You already have 1 7/8" bench tubes. You need 1 3/4" tubes(only size currently available from the mother ship). You WILL need shims to ensure the correct c-c spacing. The bench tubes press against a boss in the end castings that is shorter on your castings than the current version. :confu...

An idea that SS already has.... https://shopsmith.com/product/rip-fence-extension-package-for-mark-7-mark-v-520-mark-4/ Problem was price for me. :rolleyes: IF SS would make it an option to compete price wise...it would make sense.

Stumpy Nubs latest video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuoNIRwfnPg This looks like a very good option for the SS table saw. The price isn't too bad either. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/ACC94ACA-7876-439B-AE8B-F4390B90A049?ingress=0&visitId=df697034-8091-4a2d-9c54-b3a40b8ec0c7&lp_que...

The Conventional Mark V Headstock runs between 700 and 5200 RPMs. Scott Markwood from My Growth Rings pointed out that the speed reducer doesn't work great for drilling be...

Copy and past then delete the original?

Not to hijack the thread ( but I guess I am) so now SS is calling the conventional head stock a smart motor? Even with a search and replace how could that happen. I don't know what the original parts list said for these parts but I don't think the word motor was in their description for the parts in...

Well guys I can honestly say I definitely did not get a kick back but I cannot definitely say the wood did not move on me. It has in the past... I have had it close the saw kerf and pinch my riving knife and all sorts of issues in the past cutting this batch of walnut. So I can't rule it out but......

I agree with Dusty. I don't see how thus can happen (particular with a 1/8" gap) with out a kick back. Maybe at one end of the stock if something moved but not a curve in the middle of the stock. Being inside for a couple of years does not mean that the wood will not move when cut. Is this happ...

The tail stock is a #2 Morse taper. SS sells a live center and they show up on eBay all the time.
