Re: I Just Purchased 10E Number 143

Some progress this week: Added a flip cover to the "on" portion of the on/off switch for safety and gave it a matching wood cover. 20220821_223452.jpg Also installed the tachometer in the headstock, and made a box for the led display. The sensor is having some issues but I think a new magn...

Re: I Just Purchased 10E Number 143

Even if it is this is not a problem since the Gauge Collar can hold the front bearing in place. The later type of Guage Collar is shown below for reference. The original Gauge Collar will not hold the front bearing in place. Both bearings are seated correctly, i think the problem was that the guage...

Re: Selling old shop smith: seeking help on how much and where

There are 3 Mark 5s for sale in central Wisconsin right now. The posted prices range from $800 to $200 and they have all been available for several weeks. I purchased an older 10E that was very rusty and missing accessories for $75 last month so it really does depend on your location, the current su...

Re: I Just Purchased 10E Number 143

Which voltage could be either higher or lower than the rated voltage. Induction-motor speed is primarily a function of the AC line frequency, not the voltag...

Re: I Just Purchased 10E Number 143

Hi Joel, Looks like things are coming along nicely. Can you tell me where you got the RPM display and how exactly it works/hooks up? Hi Darren, and thanks. I got the rpm sensor from Amazon. This one is barebones and a little tricky to hook up, but basically there is a small magnet i am going to glu...
