Re: Loose Drive Assembly where Tool Attach
In what way is it loose? Is the drill chuck loose on the main spindle? Does the entire quill move side to side or up and down?

I'd love to apply myself but I don't fit the qualifications. I have the work ethic, but the labor part ain't so good lately.

Re: SS 500 Router function?
I don't know what you mean by " double-rack mounting tubes" My SS looks like any typical 5XX series, with 4 tubes. Two lower and two upper. I'd love to have the newer tables, but that's a bit of a $$ for me. In under table operations (inverted drill press mode) the standard table will be ...

Re: Adding dustport to older bandsaw
Yes. Buy the dust port for a band saw from Shopsmith. They have an entire upgrade that includes a left side cover with the port and a window for the tension arm, or you can just buy the port, cut a hole in the cover and install it yourself. Adding a window a piece of clear plastic to see the tension...

Re: Mark v speed controller problem
If the quadrant that pushes on the bearing is not centered and perpendicular to the shaft on the upper sheaves you'll need excessive force on the speed dial to move the sheaves. Also, the outer sheave has to slide on the shaft to change speeds, if that's not sliding smoothly it could require excessi...

Re: New Owner to 2 Shopsmiths
A 510 with a bandsaw and joiner for $50 is a fantastic deal. Tailstocks are all interchangeable. You will want a 12" sanding disc, it is one of the best features of a Shopsmith.

Re: Which Lathe upgrade?
FWIW, the email add I got today features the Speed Reducer and shows it used for drilling. I'm sure it can be used for drilling. I haven't needed it for that because I have a PowerPro on my drill press. And because I have a PowerPro on my 510 also the only thing I may ever use it for is to run a ba...
