510 to 520 Upgrade

Hey Boys and Girls...
This thread has dealt with going from a 500 to a 520, I just got my upgrade kit to change my 510 to a 520, I'm hoping this is easier done than the 500/520 process.

Good point...I'm not shipping it, I'm receiving it, so I will ask the "shipper" if they can break it down for me prior to shipping. Thanks - I've heard these are around 80lbs, does that sound about right?

Chucks

I've acquired some shopsmith parts of late and was wondering, I have three jacobs chucks, two have allen head set screws and one has a standard or straight screw for the set screw, did shopsmith ever use anything but the allen head set screws in their chucks?
