Scroll saw casters

Evidently Shopsmith doesn't sell the castors for the scroll saw any longer. Can anyone tell me if a set of casters from a Shopsmith 500 will work? Or where I can get a set of casters for the scroll saw?

Fred: I hope you get a lot of service from the planer. I just didn't use it that much. The mesquite I work with sands much better than it planes. I wish I would have thought to open that green cabinet at the back of my shop. It is nothing but Shopsmith accessories I collected over the fifteen years ...

I "think" I have all the Shavings and Hands On Magazines. There is some question of early issues.

Sorry for being so slow. A TWIC card is a Transportation Workers Identification Card. Required to enter sea ports without escort. I'm retired now and don't need it anymore.

I ordered my sharpening jig about 6 weeks ago and still haven't received it. And everytime I call Shopsmith, I'm on "death penality" hold. I've get frustrated after 10 minutes and hang up. I don't know who Jan is, but I hope it was somebody at SS! I really hope I get it soon. Very hard to...

I first joined the original SSUG site that led to the "gatherings" in Dayton. After it shut down, I went to the Yahoo group, but never read it consistantly. Found the "New" SSUG site and I have been a hit and miss participant there. This site I visit a few times a week. They all ...

That is my concern, that the DC3300 is not up to pulling crud up overhead, and the main line accumulating crud in it if I go under the floor. Access would be an issue in either position. Maybe I should just run it along the ceiling. There shouldn't be much more than dust go to the DC3300, with the D...

Little advise needed

Since I finally have retired and at home full time now and can use my shop, I am going to upgrade the dust collection system. I have a DC3300 and have ordered a "Dust Deputy" to augment it. My shop is 20 X 12. I have the metal piping for the main run. My question now is do I go overhead in...
