Re: Sliding the headstock easier
To DLB. David : I just purchased my 2nd Mark VII at an auction. After comparing how the wedge lock functions I have concluded that it is stuck. Only on the "front" operators side. I've turned the lock handle to the half-way position where it should wiggle in and out and it doesn't wiggle....

Re: Shopsmith repair location in SoCal
Shipping the unit back to the factory doesn't seem to be the best route to go on. That's a $550 bill to get it to them. After that and a refurb, I might as well buy a new unit. At the end of the day, there should be certified mechanics available... Geeze.... While most repair centers that I know of...

Re: mark 7 stalls, blinks
The display staying on for a bit after removal of power is normal for a PowerPro. Generally it should give a normal display, then switch to a LOW VOLTAGE message, then go blank. The message yours is displaying when it first stops turning might be useful in determining the fault. If it isn't on there...

Re: Dado blade
Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice. I’m sorry if my description was confusing. A picture might have been better. Just to be clear, you can only do through cuts with dados and saw blades. You can plunge cut with a tracksaw, but on a table saw, every cut should be a through cut. The description you...

Re: Simple project advice
Are these reasonable plans? Miters can be challenging. Table alignment should be as good as you can get it, paying particular attention to tilt. This is true whether you use a miter gauge, Miter Pro, sled, or other jig. Compound angles are fine for compound miter joints, but not for flat miters. I'...

Re: Lathe Tool Rests ... What is This?
If anyone is interested, I have photos of how I drilled, tapped, and supported the new bolt position. Just let me know and I can post the photos. Thanks. I'm interested in the "how-to" for this, especially the material you used to build up the casting. When I looked at the picture I thoug...

Re: Essential table saw accessories
You didn't mention a miter gauge, this is a basic necessity unless you're only doing rip cuts. You also did not mention which model you have, so while I like (but don't necessarily need) the non-through cut riving knife it does not fit Model 500 and earlier. A dado blade is certainly useful, but the...

Re: Quill difficult to advance
If the pinion turns freely and the splines slide smoothly I would next check to see if the quill barrel moves freely in the headstock bore with the quill lock loosened. One way the bore can be deformed is if someone tightens the quill lock with no quill in place, that is the reason we use the 'rever...

Re: Power Pro 2 touch screen problems
It sounds like your upgrade kit should still be under warranty. I would start by contacting Shopsmith Customer Service. I don't have a Gen 2, but it appears to me that you can remove the control panel and temporarily connect your Gen 1 control panel to confirm a control panel problem. Screwing the G...
