Anyone see this issue before?
If I run my gen1 power pro on 110v it is fine. If I connect to 220v, some of the time it will boot up OK, other times just an illuminated but blank screen. Annoying, since 220 does offer a small but noticeable improvement in performance.

Anyone know what this is for? It's called a "spacer" in the parts diagram, so I know it's for the overhead router. I have no clue what it's supposed to "space".

Thanks, very useful. They must have made special brackets to hold the caster brackets at the right distance. I think I can cut blocks of wood to do the same thing. I'll scan the manual this week for the stand-alone and it's options.

Thanks Ed, that will be really handy to have.

The problem with melamine is that it sags over time, like the OEM table. If you go that route, I'd recommend adding some structural stiffeners to the underside of it.

I am wondering what a good bang for the buck top would be, maybe two layers of 3/4 melmine? The original is 1-1/8" and you don't get ...

]Obviously, I need to derust these! Hope these pictures help.

I just picked up a project shopsmith overhead router setup 555413. to join my pair of mark 5s. It needs work and a manual! I found a two page parts diagram which is useful and the mark V mounted overarm router manual but I would dearly like the stand alone manual. Apparently, it used to be available ...

Thanks, but as I said in the orignal post I DID take the photos in the correct landscape - two buttons on top - orientation. And also as I mentioned, I rotated one picture (twice to "flip" upside down) in win11 photo viewer and inserted original AND rotated photo. Both previewed as upside down.

I was entering photos into a post - taken with an iphone 13 using the "correct" orientation, i.e. two buttons on the top. All of the pictures were upside down when previewed. I used "save as" on one picture in my laptop and flipped it in win11.
I then tried posting BOTH, as an experiment. BOTH were ...
