Re: Shopsmith Shelix Conversion?

Re: SPEED INCREASER

I changed over to the PowerPro years ago. I have a Speed Increaser sitting in the box that I recall using twice. It worked well when I used it. If you would like to send me a PM, I will dust off the box and inventory that all the parts are there . I would enjoy someone using this tool instead of col...

Re: Planer Cutterhead Specs

I contacted Shelixheads requesting the three available spec sheets. I received them within minutes of clicking the send button! Outstanding customer service. Upon reviewing them I realized I am a woodworker and not a machinist, and not capable of making the exact measurements needed. I will be sendi...

Planer Cutterhead Specs

Re: Joint-Matic

I also have a Joint-Matic that was barely if ever used. I have all the original accessories available for it, some in their original boxes, plus a few extra parts. If anyone is interested in one, at the noted Lumberjocks price, please contact me.
