Re: Packing & Moving a Shopsmith
I'd take the headstock off completely and pack that separately. You could leave the tubes and end castings assembled and strap them onto a heavy board, but you'll save a lot of space if you dissemble those pieces.

Re: Is the Smart Motor Speed Dial Ring, Back-Up Spring, part# 504196
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 turn it into other things. So for that reason.........

It's still a headstock. At least in lathe mode it is. I've never heard of the power head on a drill press or other tools referred to as a headstock that I can recall. I don't see the problem calling it either a 'Smart Motor' or a 'headstock' in the right context.

Re: Table Saw Cutting Funny
I guess you could try cutting a piece of plywood to see if it's the saw and not the wood.

Re: New Owner
Are there any specific tools I will want to bring on Saturday? I've seen reference to a long handled Allan wrench. I'm assuming all bolts and connectors are imperial measurements? The only tools you should need are pliers and a screwdriver to remove the legs. 5 screws hold each leg to the base cast...

Re: Control sheave loop repair
Cool solution. Ball point pen tubes have a lot of uses, some I don't want to mention here or admit knowing about, but this is a good one.

Re: New Owner
Is there a fence? I see chuck keys but no chuck. Did you get saw guards?

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
I was thinking that but the main and extension tables have the locking mechanism for connector tubes.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
Clearly not a Mark 7, but what indication is there that it's a 505 instead of a 510?chapmanruss wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2024 1:25 pm The value of it is hyped up especially since it isn't a Mark 7, but a Power Pro upgraded Mark V 505 as best can be seen. Still cheaper than a Power Pro Headstock.

Re: Idler shaft gets super hot
Sorry, not sure I'm following this. Are you saying buy one of these assemblies, pull the bearing off, and then install that bearing on the SS Idler shaft? Looking at the Amazon drawing, there doesn't appear to be an inner race, meaning it is truly integral. I can get it apart, but I don't think it ...
