I had looked a that info before but not closely enough because I hadn't noticed you gave the specific airspeed at each port. Thanks for pointing that out. I know now that in addition to the restriction my hose was causing I was also using the least effective opening of the 3 way port.

I also ...

Thanks to both of you.

Scott, I do have the STL for the chisel sharpening guide, which I got when he posted about it in the Shopsmith Owners Facebook group. I'm the one who commented on your video that I, coincidentally, also printed it in green but my print warped slightly so the bottom wasn't ...

Just after my previous post I remembered that I have one of the black plastic hoses on hand (8' long). It originally came with the DC-3300 when I bought it, but as I was upgrading everything else I purchased the 10' clear hose from Shopsmith thinking that would be an upgrade too. I plugged the black ...

I hadn't thought to do so, but at your suggestion I pulled the hose from the 3 way connector and put my hand over the port, and it feels like there is significantly more suction at the port. I knew the hose would add some resistance, but didn't realize it would be that much. I'm using the 10' clear ...

I appreciate the response. I did see that post, but started skimming after pg 4, to be honest.

It looks like the conclusion from the chart though is that a DC-6000 should outperform my 144 CFM wet/dry vac when I'm only using a single port. It certainly doesn't feel like that, though.

Over the winter I picked up a used DC-3300 on Facebook marketplace, got the 6000 upgrade kit from Shopsmith and did the conversion. The DC-3300 was in worse shape than I thought, and I ended up replacing the switch, wiring harness, the plastic tops to both legs...all told, ultimately it would have ...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone!

Thanks, DLB. I have to admit I was hoping to get something for significantly less than $70.

Hi all. I've been doing a lot of pen turning lately and the 8" tool rest is just a tad too long to get close enough to the work. I thought I would look into the ShopSmith 4" lathe tool rest, but the website says it's out of stock and they have no idea when they might get more. There are none ...

Russ and JSBurger are correct; I was referring to that carriage bolt that keeps the two halves of the table level to each other, which the manual calls the "table leveling screw". The set screw that acts as the table's 0 degree stop is referred to as the "Table height screw" in the manual ...
