Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!
Unused Lamp Attachment Although Magna was very keen on having a full line of Shopsmith/Magna-branded accessories for their machines, they weren’t necessarily in the business of developing and manufacturing every one of those items. A lot of “consumable” accessories (abrasives, adhesives, lubricants...

Re: Shopsmith History
It is the same Shopsmith History that I questioned at the beginning of this topic. And since we are on the history page again does anyone know when Magna American Corporation actually closed. The history page has it as 1964 but I have seen items dated later than that making me believe it was closer...

Re: Shopsmith History
My father-in-Law has a green SS, but the serial number is very low: 85004. It was bought a LONG time ago...most likely in the 50's or 60's. See the pic. He says it is a Mark IV (4), but doesn't have any documentation. Any clue what this thing is? That’s a Mark 2 - a low-cost 5–in-1 machine produced...

Re: Any suggestions?
the work surfaces on the saw table and extension tables have black spots. I've tried every cleaner I can think of but they dont come out. Any suggestions? You might want to post some pictures of what you’re seeing to allow for better suggestions from the group. If it’s cosmetic, you may be able to ...

Re: cleaning table saw bed
I worked on a ‘54 Greenie restoration a few years back, and I really wanted to do a good job on the table, as I was going for a “showroom new” restoration (or at least a reasonable facsimile!) Being 65+ years old at the time, the table was pretty grimy and oxidized, but not deeply corroded, stained,...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!
Souvenirs From the Yuba Factory - circa 1961 This is a weird one, but figured this is as good a place as any to share it! I’m working on a Goldie restoration project, and was cleaning up the painted casting section of the table fence to prep it for a fresh coat of paint. Turned it over and saw a co...
