Ed, you can always put that stuff on the market. Sell it and recoup some of your investment. Donate what doesn't sell to somewhere like Habitat for the Humanities or Goodwill.
If no-one in the family will use it, once you quit using it it is just stuff.

Re: Planing laminated boards with CF in between?
I would suggest that it is now time to do some real wood working. Turn off the power sander and the planer and dig out the hand tools and sanding blocks.

Re: need help, what is thI s
I have never purchased serrated (or cupped) set screws and yet I have them in my shop. Conclusion: they came there installed in some part of the Shopsmith equipment that I have in the shop.

Re: Double tilt upgrade
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...

Re: Oxygen Support
Please be ultra careful in the shop. That air hose can be a real hazard. I've been on oxygen support and I had a couple incidents that if in the shop could have been bad news.
ALWAYS CAUTIOUS, Please.

Re: Do Std Shopsmith motors (the Emerson's) Come with Capacitors
I believe field windings (in the Shopsmith motors) can be tested with just an ohmeter but the armature is another story. I believe special equipment is required. The start windings must be given special attention.

Re: Quill coupler broken - where to source new part?
Hello, I did a stupid thing today, and broke the plastic coupler in the quill assembly of my SS Mark 5. The part in question is the white plastic piece in the picture. I can't seem to find a replacement on ebay or anywhere else. I also don't know if I'm calling it by the wrong name. There are whole...

Re: Quill coupler broken - where to source new part?
FWIW when my Greenie was still a Gilmer, the quill was silver not black, and the splines were coarser than those appear to be. And the coupler in the photo doesn't look like the one my Gilmer quill had It didn't look my Greenie sleeve either, but mine was totally worn out 40 years ago, I only recen...

Re: Do Std Shopsmith motors (the Emerson's) Come with Capacitors
Maybe it would be helpful for you to detail the test procedures that you advocate for this task. Then we would all be wiser.
