Re: What are the rarest Shopsmith accessories?

The 10E came with a threaded chuck; Jacobs 33B. There is a threaded adapter for the chuck that is quite rare. The 10E fence came with no lockdown for the rear. But they came out with a rear lockdown for it after the fact. Also rare. I am in need of both of these. There is a two step pulley that I be...

Re: Made in the USA or best price on turning tools or anything..

Been turning on my Shopsmith for more than 40 years. For 30 of those years I used standard lathe tools that needed to be sharpened with a grinder and or a file.

Re: Need Advice on Selling Model ER sn3620

IF the item in second pix at the front left is what I think it is, first store it away and retake those pix. As for selling it, Craigslist is likely the better option since it is quite heavy and local pickup will likely be your only option. It is worth what someone is willing to pay. Do not expect ...

Almost looks like the rear fence lock (or part of it) for a 10E fence. But the fence in the picture has a fence lock.

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

That Display is very cool. The price seems a little high. But if it was in my area I would probably pay the $225.

Re: Don't Know About This

Has to be some kind of marketing gimmick.
The entire letter is suspect. They do not specify the collaboration. And how does an auto retailer tie in to the forum.
Unique piece of content?
Somewhere in the region of $65?

Re: My newest acquisition for preservation

Way to go Everett. A piece of history for sure. Bet you can't wait to actually have it in your possession.

Re: Medicare what do you use?

I have plan “G” and have had it since 2017. My understanding is that the advantage plans have negatives beyond what has been stated here. You have to pay every time you go to a doctor, both GP and specialists. You also cannot make an appointment with a specialist unless you are referred by your GP ...
