Shopsmith Forums

I have tried that bowling alley wax and also found it works very well. It's a little softer than some of the other brands I've tried, so it's a little easier to apply.

I bought my first Shopsmith a few years ago based on the fact that any part to repair it was available. Now after the sale of the company it appears that is no longer the case. The original headstock is a very well thought out and totally solid piece of engineering, proven over many years and plenty...

I will be happy to share anything I figure out if it helps you, or any...

Jerry, I've also seen that post with the pictures of the plates, it looks like he was replicating the way the bars fit on the original Ryobi table. I just bought a used table off from ebay (cheap) to get accurate dimensions for plates like Ron's. I don't believe using just holes to index the bars wo...

I also would like to adapt a set of Ryobi BT3000 rails to my 510, instead of going to the 520 system. Maybe someone else on here has more information on the Ron May plates?
