I second the motion of the shopsmith mandrel and mandrel saver from pennstateind.com(PSI). start with lower end kits like funline and slimline. You can even get pre-cut and drilled blanks for those there. I'd use epoxy at first, but you'll need to let it cure longer before turning. A box of 1 inch ...

Asked him to send pix of the 10 boxes of accessories. He'll send tonight.

Hard to tell what is with it. I may take a look for $400

Thanks Al. Found this page on Shopsmith when I googled images of different models. http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/toolhistory.htm Now I know what you guys are talking about when you say "Greenies" and "Goldies." What do you call the 63-64 Grays and the 72-84 Gray 500's? Crink...

Thanks for the feedback. Is there a guide of some kind to distinguish between the model types by seeing pictures of them?
