Re: Which planer? dewalt or SS?
Agreed - shopsmith is a fantastic planer. Really, either model is nice and basically the same. The pro planer main table is cast steel versus aluminum casting on the markV mounted unit and a couple of other differences, but nothing major. Biggest issue people have with the mark V unit is moving it f...

Re: Power Stand out of production?
Just a thought or two for you to consider. I have had both versions of this planer and currently have and use the pro planer model. I sold the mark V mounted version and the gentleman that purchased it asked about the same issues you bring up - plus, needing to have shelf space for storage, etc. The...

Re: magna bandsaw model 630. serial # 20945
I also have a matching Magna band saw setup with 1957 greenie. The photos of the older versions with Bill's description is indeed correct. The roller was a hard rubber and had a groove worn into it. I ordered the package of band saw bushings from him a year or so ago and modified my Magna unit ........

Re: Need Prayer Requests
I know your name is mentioned in many, many shopsmith discussions - from the meticulous restore projects completed to the vast knowledge you have freely given to help others out. I enjoy learning about shopsmith items thru your posts and also the other regular users here that share their knowledge a...

Re: ShopSmith Mark V 845525 owner manual
I have a 3-ring binder manual that covers in detail both the model 500 and the model 510. About six months ago, I brought it to work and scanned the entire 510 section - including alignment, parts ID, troubleshooting, and setups. The .PDF file is 46 pages long and the size is 6.4 MB so it should ema...

Re: Used Pro Planer questions
All comments are valid and I completely agree with the lunch-box planer versus the one piece 20"+ length bed of the shopsmith units being leaps and bounds better. The ONLY issue I have really heard concerning the shopsmith planers is that it would have been nice if they had gone to 13" wid...

Re: Non Woodworking Question
What a memory lane topic - cant help much on the printer language but used to use all those dot matrix jobs in the day. Out of college in 1977 I wanted to be involved in NC programming because I thought the tighter tolerances and automated duplication of parts would be a plus someday for most manufa...

Re: Shopsmith Mark 5/V Bearings
I agree with your numbers - the part number from the vendor I spoke of, is indeed the slightly smaller OD. I measured this particular greenie quill at 1.378 and am also going to order the "-10" bearing you spoke of. Interestingly, that exact bearing is also used on the 5/8" shaft side...

Re: Shopsmith Mark 5/V Bearings
Went to press my new 6202 quill bearing on today during break time at work and ........... no go. Came to discover that standard 6202 size is 15mm ID x 35mm OD x 11mm WD of which the OD and WD are fine, but the bore at 15mm (.590) is way to small to press on to a 5/8" (.625) shaft. The original...
