I think the dark green paint supplied by Shopsmith is the color that is a close match to the Rustoleum Verde Green…or maybe the Rustoleum Verde Green is a close match to the Shopsmith dark green??? Like jpg has pointed out and as the Shopsmith picture indicates, it is not hammered. I believe a lot o...

Well, it might not be “hammered”, but it is: - a close color match to the Verde Green - available (unlike the the Hammered Verde Green) - might work just fine for a smaller project like the Wilton Bench Vice that rbm is trying to restore And finally - really expensive compared to the list price for ...

Have you considered purchasing a spray can of green paint from Shopsmith?

The cost per can of $17.89 plus shipping is a little hard to swallow but might be your best option.

I don’t know how well superglue holds up with metal long term, but I have seen JB Weld work really well for the type of repair you made. The wealth of information on this forum is amazing. Glad you got things up and working!

While browsing eBay looking at Shopsmith parts I came across a listing for a custom made bandsaw fence for the older cast iron table. The modified fence was done by seller with the handle “thompsonjoedeals”. The attached photos were included with the listing. It looks like a great use for an old 500...

The only difference is the commemorative badge. From your description it sounds like you may have a problem with the speed controller.

I glued some rare earth magnets where the bolts would go instead of permanently mounting it. I left the hubs on it for the purported heat sin...

Here is a video that Jacob Anderson made showing how he sets the speed. Not sure if that is helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GWVxeTqUgT8 Here is the method for performing a high speed adjustment with photos and a write up done by Dan at songofthegreatlakes.com http://www.songofthegreatlakes....

I am not very familiar with the Mark VII, but I did see an eBay seller (houseofrust) with a listing for what they were calling a “Shopsmith Mark VII Replacement Rack”. It looks like it is a 3D printed part. As I read the listing they are selling the replacement rack for one side for $40.

How long was this style of guard used by Shopsmith. I have one complete upper and one complete lower guard similar to what you have shown except they are gray. Also looks like the dust collection port on the lower is different.
