Meant to say outer edge of the sheaves.

I thought I would put my 2 cents in here since I am rebuilding a headstock at this time and happened to look at the post. Just curious about a measurement on th motor sheaves. What is the measurement between the 2 motor sheaves at the out edge of the sheaves when the movable sheave is against the nu...

Through some connection I came across an older 510 upgraded to Power Pro in 2010 with several SPTs . Fair price, should I go for it? Wondering about early version of Power Pro.

Mike, Thanks for the part number. Hope you made it through the quake ok. My nephew from Eagle River got stuck in Anchorage and couldn't get home for a day or two.

I already have several legs and thought it might be cheaper if I could just buy the top part with the notch and knob. I called customer service and got a new hire that was unable to locate i...

Are you wanting to buy used or new. If used take a look at some of the threads on what to look for in a used machine. There are a lot of old ones that need work if you have the time to repair them.

I have had the velcro system for over 20 years and love it. I do not use the disc sander for sharpening so that has never been an issue. I also store my sanding disc and paper on a pegboard hook all in a small space. I just punch a small hole right in the center of the sand paper disc.

I recently purchased the Shopsmith thin kerf premium saw blade set with arbors when it was on special a few months ago. I did a lot of comparison with other manufactures, and the design and tooth configuration is most similar to CMT blades. The expansion antivibration laser cuts match the CMT blades...
