Shopsmith Forums

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I really don't want to alter this beautiful machine, but space is definitely an issue. Squeezing another full size in may be a problem. Time will tell. Here are few more pictures... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190101/be901ba7de70092d2427672be08a7311.jpg htt...

Hello All although I am not a regular poster on the forum I wanted to share a great old Greenie I scored. I have a 50th anniversary MK V 520 that I LOVE! I always thought how cool it would be to have a Greenie and in the back of my mind I thought if I could find one locally that is affordable. I saw...

It depends both on what you are cutting and what kind of blade you are using (both width and tooth per inch count). Power Tool Woodworking for Everyone has a section with recommended speed combos. http://www.shopsmith.com/academy/bandsaw/index.htm#speeds Thanks so much, exactly the info i needed.

What is the recommended speed setting for the bandsaw? So far i have kept the SS 520 in the lowest speed when operating the band saw. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There were as many employees watching as customers. Everyone was fascinated to watch the SS in action.

I had the good fortune to catch a SS demo today at Lowes in Brevard NC. It was fun to get a good look at the newest thing in action. The Shopsmith is an amazing machine. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180710/7ccbbc9f181506bf3a2c7e4e279734b1.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180710/4331439ad...

What's that one Virginia plate doing amongst all those South Carolina plates? Where are you located? I'm in Greenville, SC... I am in Easley! Right down the road from you. The Virginia plate was picked up way back when I was in the Navy, stationed in Virginia. My dad had a 1964 Impala and I got it ...

A few more pictures of my 50th anniversary Mark V 520! I have gone through the alignment steps once and planning to do it a second time. I have been rearranging my garage to give my Shopsmith a home where using it is convenient. The bandsaw is next on the list to clean and check out. New pegboard to...
