I love my 10ERs and I'm a few months shy of 41. Do I qualify as "old" yet? :) I learned a long time ago cus that you are only as old as you act ... which makes me pretty childish actually ... LOL Just ask my wife! Besides, I said "mature" before I said "old" :D Also br...

1951, huh, rjent? Check out this restored 1951 10ER, and I bet that you'll feel great about your "new" baby! I just bought myself a "new" 1958 DeWalt Model MBF radial arm saw, and got a kick out of it being manufactured just four months from my birthday. Chances are that it will...

Having been 'offline' yesterday and today, I have not had an opportunity to ring in on this discussion. Let me start by stating one of my life's regrets is not staying at an auction once I discovered the Shopsmith listed was a model 10. I have since 'corrected' that oversight and am seriously consi...

Well, unfortunately (or fortunately depending) I sent him the check before checking into the condo and seeing this. My thoughts, based on what he told me, is that the unit is sound. The owner was using it just before moving to NM (says he LOL) and says it works perfectly. based on that, and the fact...

Dick, the ER, (or 10ER) is still a working, usable machine, and still performs better than even the Mk7 model, in a couple setups. The lathe is more stable, and the drill press is a better fit, too. There is a Yahoo group, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Shopsmith10ERusers/info go and see what ...

Share some pictures and we'll be able to tell you if it's worth the $200 (that's on the upper end of what I'd pay for a ER) and possibly point out any problems or issues you might face with it as well as see if you have any parts that are particularly rare or desirable. I have a couple of the older...

Dick, I am way out of my comfort zone talking about ER prices. I don't even know where to find the ER serial number charts but I'm pretty sure the ER was discontinued by 1950ish. From what I've seen, the ER jig saw mounts on top of the ER headstock rather than in the ends like on the Mark 5/V/7. I ...

Welcome! Heck yes you have a problem! I suggest you send me your new Mark 7. That will cure your problem! :D The older ER models predate the mechanical speed control on the headstock that is found on the Mark 5/Mark V units. Speed was changed on the ER by moving belts between the step pulleys at th...
