warningintruder,

Don't bank on that without checking with Shopsmith. The information regarding the TA is a bit sketchy, to say the least.

Check directly with customer service. Pay close attention to your email. Make certain you are registered with Shopsmith to receive email notices.

If the Traveling Academy was to be in your home town next month - would you know that? If you were someone who has a Shopsmith and is a reasonably active user but you were NOT a member of this (or any) forum - Would you know when the Traveling Academy was going to be in your area?

[quote="charlese"]Sounds to me , you are doing all the right things. Two additional things you can try in order to get more sawdust into your 3300] How big can my shop be if I have a DC3300 with a "small" hood? Does a bigger hood really mean that my DC3300 will do a better job or...

Ed, I don't think so. By way of comparison. A long time ago, 1993, I towed a 36' Airstream travel trailer with my 1993 Ford F250, turbo diesel long bed with a camper shell. Everything was great, We took the hills like they weren't there. Power galore. Then, one day, suddenly the old truck wasn't doi...

If you find a way to reduce the dust that you are sweeping up, please let me know. The lower saw guard is, IMHO, a weak link in the dust collection system. I've cut fillers, used duct tape, adjusted and readjusted the lower guard all to no avail. The Shopsmith discharges sawdut that must be swept up...

Yes, warningintruder, you do have a 520 and a nice one at that. Based on your serial number, 145512, I believe your machine was manufactured in the 1984-1985 time frame. The rough-gray texture was first applied in October 1984. I can't tell from the picture whether it is rough or smooth. The motor u...
