Re: SS Stainless Steel Fastener Upgrade Kit Review

I use fastenal to find replacements, usually they sell smaller quantity. I needed the pin that holds the spring in place for retracting the quill. SS price for one was $7.95 with shipping. Got 50 from fastenal for $7.00. Of course that is a lifetime of need, but I could not bring my self to pay $7.9...

Re: Will a SS Mark 7 Carriage Fit/Work on a Mark 5?

If you look on ebay or craigslist you probably can find a carriage that will fit make sure it is from a 510 or 520. It will be cheaper than what you can get one from shopsmith. You can often find shorty models complete with a headstock for 250 to $300.

Re: Nick's Headstock repair jig.

Does anyone have a picture of the repair jig that the shopsmith guys actually use. I would like to replicate that.

Re: Quill Assembly drive Screw broken, is it worth Fixing?

I still have 49 of these replacement screws. If anyone needs one I can send for the cost of postage and $1.

Re: Dead power pro power supply?

I think since covid closed much down including SS. If you owned this 21/2 years now in March It should have been covered under the two year warranty. What is ridiculous is that you will have to spend money to send the headstock in when you could just receive a new electronic board and repair yoursel...
