Shopsmith Forums

Sorry for not posting an update earlier, once I got everything put back together I was excited to play with it. But its all done, cleaned up and belts replaced. All pieces (including the pork chop) are in their proper place. And there was minimum swearing involved :D Thank you all for your help and ...

Hey so I have made lots of progress, but in order to get the control sheave out from the poly v belt I took out the speed changing assembly. I just couldn't get around it. And now I am questioning/ debating with my father in law where the pork chop should be in regards to the threads on the speed ...

Help, I can't get the control sheave loop off the pork chop. I can't get it over the bump on the leaf spring. :mad: Are there any tricks to this or am I just being a wimp? :(

Also wa2crk can you be more specific? I don't know what the "stop rings" or the "split collar" are. Sorry I'm still ...

They are BACK!!!:D I tried clicking on the Shopsmith Reborn Sawdust sessions and they are working again. I posted the previous comment before tried clicking on them again. anyway I just thought I would share the good news.

Has anyone heard if these are going to be available elsewhere? ie YouTube? As a noob to shopsmith I could seriously benefit from the Sawdust Sessions. I'm surprised they are not already on YouTube. Seems like this would be a no brainer fix.

It seems to me that maybe a "not so subtle" hint that it would serve everyone better at your house might be in order.

I would love to keep it at my house, but it takes up my cars spot in the garage. It will probably stay there for awhile, but eventually I get very tired of scraping ice and snow ...

IMHO YOU are doing HIM a great service by 'fixing' it. Sadly I do not think he has any idea of these problems, nor how he caused them!

I don't think he had any idea of the issues either, he usually takes pretty good care of his tools unfortunately he is more of a car guy than a woodworker so this ...

[quote="JPG40504"]Did you click on 'this' back in post 29?]

Yes I did I appreciate it, and it is helpful, I was just hoping for something a little more like the Sawdust Session that goes painfully step by step through every little detail in a video. The SS is not mine it is my Father in Law's so I ...

So do I need to try to get the speed dial to "fast" in order to take everything apart? Or can I start pulling belts off etc? Does anyone know of a video on you tube etc that would show how to do everything you are suggesting? I saw the Sawdust session regarding replacing the two belts and I was ...

So I took two more pics this morning after reading what you said. So the close up pic, it is sticking out too far correct? that screw is not supposed to be bent like that correct? Is that the screw that need the bigger washer?
