Re: cleaning table saw bed
Mine had some (not lots) oxidation and I block sanded it with fine (so as not to make it wavy) wet-or-dry sandpaper then waxed it with paste wax. Any furniture paste wax is fine (avoid auto waxes because a lot of them contain silicone).

Bandsaw upgrade
Found this at the local Klingspor's but I'm sure Rockler or Woodcraft (or Amazon) would have the equivalent. Makes a HUGE difference in dust collection! The second photo shows the difference in collection area. I nipped the corners off the flange to tuck it up closer to the table. If I were to do it...

Re: Is the Smart Motor Speed Dial Ring, Back-Up Spring, part# 504196
At the risk of getting WAY too far off topic.... I'd argue you'd still call it a headstock regardless of what you're doing. It's not called a headstock on other drill presses, but other drill presses aren't lathes stood on end. At its core, a Shopsmith is a lathe with a bunch of accessories that tur...
