JPG, I definitely agree with you. But I do know they love Phil’s BBQ. Pinky? Don’t know what that is.

Thank you for the explanation and the speed changer document, Russ. I was hoping I wouldn’t have to adjust the belt tension so often, since that motor is so heavy and the set screw behind the speed changer gets hidden by it, especially when in the high speed configuration. Since I’m not getting luck...

That chapmanruss, that I think mickyd put that carriage bolt there to keep from accidentally bending the table lift screw. What looks like a spot where the bolt would hit is actually a little rubber pad to keep from chipping the paint. There’s a matching carriage bolt on the other side of the carria...

I used The 10ER speed changer setup instructions that Skip (MKC Tools) wrote up and was able to get the 10ER operating well on the lower speed changer settings.

Still have a lot to learn about it so I can make it work for me, but today I worked out the process to accurately rabbet a c...

And many thanks to my friend Mike (mickyd) for attempting to get some help from the group, as unregistered viewers have no acc...

I am the proud new owner of mickyd’s ShopSmith 10ER, S/N 72883. When I spoke to Mike a week and a half ago I told him I had recently begun woodworking therapy to relieve stress and anxiety from my job and the pandemic world, he told me that if I came and picked it up, I could have his resurrected SS...
