Shopsmith Forums

Don't know what a Brad Point is.

Thanks!
My browser keeps crashing when I try to reply.

My Smith came with emery cloth glued to the big sanding disk.
I'll have to try that.

It's an insult to call this a do-dad as though it's not much more than a gimmick. I almost sprung for a Drill Doctor but for under $30 I thought I'd give this ...

I give up! What a hassle trying to get the photo small enough to attach.
Other forums are a breeze.

Today I mounted one of those drill bit sharpening rigs onto the table of the Shopsmith by drilling 2 1/4" holes.

I put them in the center and in line with the chuck -- could have offset them too I suppose.

I put one of those 8" thin stones in the chuck, but it seems to me it is too coarse a grit ...

Here's what I did with the axle shaft I ground down on the Shopsmith.
Tail wheel on my 3-point Rotary Cutter or "Brush Hog"

Where did this chart come from?

What do the names on the chart signify;
the current owner, the original buyer?

Was this chart compiled by SS owners on this forum over time?

Why have I not heard of this chart or seen it till now?

Where can the complete chart be found?

Just a few questions. :D ...

Took off the hose clamp and as I figured, er, hoped,
the spring has settled all the way into the housing as it should be.

I should put a pretty one on my coil spring housing . . .
it's a hose clamp that I put on to squeeze the crooked tail of the spring sticking up an eighth . . .

I didn't feel like rewinding it and knew that the clamp would be enough bearing on my spring end to keep it in and maybe to persuade it ...

P.S.
The axle shaft was good and heavy and the C-clamp at the far end was to keep it from trying to climb up -- which it didn't really want to do anyway. I did a few close examinations of the disk as well. I used the Smith sanding disk for a finer polish.
