speed reducer

It takes longer to shape the tools, but with this system, you can reproduce the same shape/edge each time, and then spend very little time ho...

The Shopsmith motor was so noisey, for so long, I just do not remember what the normal noise is from the reducer. One of my questions was....is there any type of maintenance required ...

Here's why---- I was turning a hunk of wood yesterday, and the motor sounded like a cement mixer. I took the cover off , and foun...
