Shopsmith Forums

I too had the same issue. I had sent the jointer in for repair and when it was returned, the fence was not attached. I slid it back on, but it was loose. Turning the red handle adjusted the tilt but still loose. This forum is fantastic - you explained the dual-purpose handle (which I could not find ...

Thanks - I looked at the two areas and could not see an obvious place to do so (unlike the shieves on the 5). Did not want to mess up a pricy investment. They never seem to wear out - mine is a 1984 model and as good as the day my father bought it.

If I put 51 in the 'go to' box, it just sits there, and I have to scroll through every page to get to 51...

It is so CLEAN...mine is a 1984 (upgraded to Mark 7) but does not look near that nice.

But, who cares? It gets waxed and cleaned frequently so still a workhorse.
