I just bought the new Work Sharp hand held sharpener. $70 and it does a great job on knives and small tools. I even sharpened a couple of lawn mower blades I had sitting around. Quick and easy. And what is even better, it does a great job of de-rusting and polishing your old ShopSmith tubes. I just ...

When I have a loose bearing seat, I take a chisel and hammer and score the shaft where the bearing seats parallel to the shaft and equal spaced around the shaft.

Though I've not even had a chance to use my Shopsmith 500 table saw yet (need some safety gear first,) based on posts in these forums I've begun to wonder about the 510 and 520. I don't see myself shelling out $950 to $1250 for a shiny new upgrade kit*. I could buy a second whole used SS in a 510 o...

I have a large project here which is very messy. I'm working on a house remodel where I'm stripping large amounts of wall plaster. The plaster makes a pretty good pile that's easily shoveled. After removing 95% of the material, I'm then left with a mess which consists of large chunks mixed in with ...

Is there anyone out there who has successfully rebuilt the poly-v Drive Sleeve Assembly (518145). I have been told that I should not attempt to do this but I do not see why. I can readily see that the task can probably only be done by someone using the correct bearing pullers but what else is there...
