My first turning from plans from the internet.
And a paper towel holder from scrap wood and and old dowel.

Opps!! gotta re-do the images sorry the resolution was too high.

I found the pin in the bottom of the box under all the packing peanuts. Whew!! Used a hammer to get it in and I have a complete 510 now. Wow you guys where right what a difference from the 500. Just tried to put an image up but not sure about the URL I don't think it wants C:\Documents and Settings\...

Ed, You are right that is what I am looking at. They are pressed in I had to use a hammer to put the only one I got in. I may have to go thru the box of peanuts to see if maybe if fell out during shipping. Or fabricate one It is just a steel pin. I will try to take a picture in the morning. Thanks a...

Folks, I just bought a 510 upgrade for my 500 through another source used. Everything is fine except I beleive I am missing one part. The tubes were removed from the table bar for packing.

But now have to buy the tenon master because my attempt at using a router failed to produce a nice joint. I really love y...

I had done the same thing buying used. I called shopsmith 800 number and ordered the 1/2" headstock coupler hub!!! yep they are called hubs that attach to the spindles on the headstock and the accessories. Make sure you have the hubs for the jointer it needs one on it also. Mine were already on...

I have attatchments blocked at home due to the spam stuff. I changed my email address to my work address it has high speed i...
