Re: New PTWFE

Re: Shopsmith Vac 4 in adaptor

For those that may be wondering why I have the interest in this adaptor I'll give some experience that I had. I have had Shopsmiths for over 50 years. And own about every SPT that Shopsmith has ever made over the years. As you know, they all have 2 1/2 in ports on the more current attachments. The D...

Re: Shopsmith Sharpening Gauge setting

I believe i figured it out. I wasn't spending enough time during the middle cut. I thought I would try it with the sharpening gauge. But I went back to the strip sander attachment. Better control.

Re: Shopsmith Sharpening Gauge setting

I'm having trouble posting pictures. It's saying it is too large. I know that's not right. I'll keep trying. This is my first time posting a picture.

The instructions said to use the same angle and placement for all the gouges, but being a smaller diameter gouge i am getting too much of a point.The large...
