Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

[This thread is now up over 400 posts!!! I know I have a few more items up my sleeve to share, so stay tuned for more…] The only Shopsmith catalog reference I remember seeing was for the Lower Saw Blade Guard. It is listed in a 1958 catalog (section below) but is for the Mark 2. I believe the Lower...

Re: Model ER 37871

I… am new to this one and have much greater interest in restoration and the Shop Smith heritage/legacy. I’d also check out some of the additional 10er resources available here that may provide some guidance: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1p8_ycx_8A0TjdUNXBhMHJJY1E?resourcekey=0-wTkFHx8I-...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

It appears the story began in late 1952, when Mr. Claude Weyant, an industrial arts instructor at what was then known as the North School in Herkimer, NY, purchased Shopsmith serial number R69038, presumably for use in his woodworking instructor’s role. I appreciate everyone who has tuned into this...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

However, did they ever appear in any of Magna's catalogues? I don't think I have ever seen them there. I think you’re spot on there, John. I’ve never seen them in an actual Magna catalog either. For the longest time, I thought they were Montgomery Ward-made accessories, since that’s the only catalo...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

Maybe that explains why there are so few of those two guards in existence. They were never meant to be sold to the general public. Well, they were the first two accessories listed in the Montgomery Ward Powr-Kraft supplemental catalog, so I’d consider that to be targeting the general public. . IMG_...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!

Documenting the “SPECIAL SHOPSMITH GUARDS for school shops” Hope everyone has a good long holiday weekend! I’ve had some time to rest up after my long trek out to western NY a week ago, as well as look at more of what I hauled home from there. And while it’s clearly a thrill to have finally found a...

Re: Help Needed with Jointer

Ignoring the fact that I don't have any of the other hardware needed to run it even if it is compatible with the 10ER, would it work? As John Burger noted previously, it’s really hard to find an intact mounting kit for a 4E jointer, but since the one you’re referencing is an early 620 (looks like a...
