Re: Cutting 1/2" acrylic on bandsaw

Get a circular saw blade made for plexiglass and use that for most of your cutting. The carbide teeth will cut faster than a bandsaw and not heat up so quickly. The blade will need time to cool between cuts and may need cleaning if hot plastic builds up on. Unfortunately for L shapes you'll need to ...

Your conclusion is true there are cupped set screws used on Shopsmith Mark Models. Way tubes held into the Bench Ends come to mind.
Can't check it right now but I think the way tubes for a double tilt have cupped or possibly serrated ends.

Re: need help, what is thI s

Thanks to all. I'm leery of setscrews as well, however, that's how (nearly0 all SS attachments are mounted to the head stock drive shaft.

Re: need help, what is thI s

They make a 1/2" router chuck and a 1/4" router chuck. I use a sleeve from from another router chuck for 1/4" bits. I'm not positive that it's all that secure in the Shopsmith 1/2" chuck. I think I'd prefer a collet type chuck for both sizes.
