Was there a lower guard for the 10ER? I keep hearing about it, but never have seen one. Has someone just made one. That open blade under there does bother me at times..... Dick I saw a picture posted somewhere once of a 10er lower saw guard that had been made from an old stainless steel pot and lid...

In a personal question, BUT on ERs, the one I use for a vertical DP, I really have to gorilla the table locking lever so it does not slip on the way tubes.

The VAT to production and sales is a foolish approach. Eventually the consumer is going to pay the full amount anyway and most of it is a "Hidden" tax, as at sale, only the last attachment is visible. You think sales taxes are rigged by the powers now, let them get their paws on the abili...

The cord is not original, it's a gray "appliance" grade cable with a good sturdy end. doesn't look frayed or worn to me, but what the heck, I can change it. Cable is crazy expensive these days. If it has been replaced it may be ok. I thought you were dealing with an original 60 year old c...

To mount MkV SPTs on a 10ER you need a [ATTACH]25981[/ATTACH]. Original ones are rare but MKC tools makes them and I think Shopsmith10er.com used to make them but I don't see them listed now. I have also seen pictures on the Yahoo Shopsmith10ERusers site of people who made their own adapters from wo...

Hi Craig. Welcome to the forum.:) I live just down the road from you in Colwood so we are almost neighbours. I have seen a few Mk V 520's and some 510's come up for sale locally but the majority are 500's. When you search on line do "Shopsmith" and "Shop Smith", you will get more...
