Thank you folks, I will call SS from work and find out. It has my curiosity. The bolts vs. studs part totally makes sense to me though so I had better go out and see how my tubes are mounted. I never took them off yet. But the table top is like night and day from the 500 model. It should warm up to ...

I got my spring project days in the mail today. I upgraded my 500 to a 510 using parts from another source than SS I see the upgrade from 510 to 520 with two version for 1986 or later and prior to 1986. Does anyone know what the difference would be?

I finally got to use my shopsmith to help out a neighbor out. He is remodeling his house with some beautiful ceder beams and used a paddle bit to counter sink the mounting bolts. Problem the holes came out odd size. He asked me if I could make some plugs the the holes. He knew I was new to all this ...

I can't watch live but I can after the fact.
