Thanks for the additional tips, Dave. Sounds good for a future maintenance interval. Now I've got to get back to finishing the bowls that are due for delivery by Thanksgiving.

Re: speed control retaining clip
I filed the quadrant and smoothed out the dents created by the seized button bearing. Put everything back together and it is working great! Now that I am more familiar with the speed control I can see the wisdom of Bill Mayo's improvements. I know he used to provide the parts - has anyone else taken...

Re: speed control retaining clip
Things are going better than expected so far. Removing the control sheave was much easier than I thought it was going to be. The control sheave is very clean looking. The bad button bearing popped right out and the new one went in but wouldn't stay in even after I squeezed hard with channel locks. S...

Re: speed control retaining clip
Thanks again, David. I did look at Jacob's videos, and it seems that in order to remove the control sheave in order to replace the button bearing that I will need to do about 2/3 of an entire teardown. Any shortcuts come to mind? Not that refamilarizing myself with teardown is a bad thing.. Also - i...

Re: speed control retaining clip
Here are some pictures of the speed control and damaged control sheave with what is left of the button bearing. It does seem to be seized. It turns out that I have a new button bearing in addition to a new clip. Any recommendations on best instructional video for doing this job? Time estimate for a ...

Re: speed control retaining clip
David: Thanks, that picture of the button bearing tells the story: The top part of my button bearing (where the clip is secured) is no longer there. Now to figure out the cause and how to remedy. I will post some photos in a bit.

Re: speed control retaining clip
Over the period of 30 minutes or so my speed control on my SS 510 was becoming increasingly inoperational. The numbered scale was loose although I was still able to adjust the speed. I decided to remove the speed control (which seemed to have been well secured) and I found that the speed control ret...

Re: My 10ER Completed
Hi, Very cool what you did with your 10ER! Another forum member referred me to your post b/c I was asking if anyone had ever rigged up a tachometer to their SS. I have a 510 and am interested in rigging up a tach, but don't know the first thing about it. I use SS primarily for wood turning so I woul...
