Shopsmith Forums

I just replaced my jointer knives with new ones purchased from SS. I am not real happy with the results. I get a lot of vibration with the new knives and sometimes a little tear out at the end of the board. Any tips on installing and aligning the jointer blades? I did a search in this SS forum and f...

I have been using a DC3300 for several years. Recently the motor only hummed when I turned it on. Last week I disassembled the DC3300 and cleaned all the fine dust from around the motor. The motor shaft did not turn unless i started it with my hand. I finally sprayed some dry silicon on the shaft an...

Thanks Rob,
I put on the 72 1/2" blade and it works fine. I have to play with the tension because I'm getting some ripples on the end of some scrap lumber

Out of necessity, I had to buy a bandsaw blade for my 11" shopsmith bandsaw from a local hardware vendor. At the time I wasn't sure of the length of the blade. So I bought a 72 1/2" blade that is 1/2" wide with 3tpi. After I got home I reviewed the manual that came with my bandsaw and...

I have been using my SS model 520 in the lathe configuration for several days putting quite a few hours on the headstock. I generally turn in the slow speeds and sand in the F speed on the speed dial. Does this harm the headstock in any way? Should I be oiling any particular area more often than reg...

Bob I have several of the Kregg clamps and one of their tables. I have 2 that I adapted to use in my bench by cutting 3/4 inch bolts off at the head and tapping them for a 5/16 rod to attach the clamps. They are my favorite bench accessories. Not sure I would like the large metal plate in the one y...

Has anyone used this clamping system from Kreg. I got this system and wondered if anyone has any good or bad comments. Go to http://www.kregtool.com/HeavyDuty-Bench ... dview.html to see the product.

JPG...there is not a huge distance between the crosscut sled and the saw blade, I would say it's about 1/2" to 3/4" and yes I know the depth of the cross cut table. Looking at Dusty's setup really made me see that all I have to do is add the auxillary cut off accessory to the left of the b...
