Re: Shopsmith Q & A Video

What caught my ear was her pursuing a new SPT from Stockroom Supply. It looks to be a SS version of their Flatmaster sander ? All it would need is the power takeoff from the headstock, and a few modifications that I'm confident Jim McCann could dream up. Like using the 520 fence....? Years ago, they...

Re: Katz-Moses Jig rail

Brenda,
Admittedly some didn't quite fit. Too tight. Fit snugly but wouldn't slide.
I addressed this issue with their rep. Because SS slots are smaller, a slight touch with a sander to the top guide bar
should solve the problem.
Bottom line... it did.

Re: Help a new guy- Dedicated drill press

If you want a roll around, stable SS drill press , watch the video. It's a "goat rope" for a while but when he figures it out.. it's perfect. IF I had another spare SS, this is the way I'd go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmO73cvC9xs&list=PLvEFMTady2TOxGCzKb26a9WDpqqqAqlWX&index...

Re: Giving Away parts of a Mark V Greenie (Gilmer Belt)

Hmm. I've got a complete rebuilt Greenie head stock sitting here. Works fine.
(It's left over from a Power Pro switch out.)
Want it? Same deal.. just come and pick it up.
Shame not to restore your system. This one will just slide on.

You'll appreciate the reach. The alignment is a real bear using short wrenches. (Ask me how I know)

Re: Shelix planer head with only 40 knives?

Well, I can appreciate that feeling and I'm glad that I worked with "Mike" at Sheartek. When I contacted him, (and Shelix,) I found that Shopsmith DID change specs on their planer(s) over the years. I had an issue to solve with the "Woodruff key" shaped like a "half coin''. ...

Dusty,
Odds are that you (and I) bought the "everything you need to repair" kit from SS.
All sorts of screws that we would need after we dropped them and lost, on the floor...
