Re: BREAKING NEWS: Shopsmith, Inc. Has A New Owner
Speed wouldn't matter with the PowerPro. When I use my Mark V for sawing and jointing I am going back and forth from the saw to the jointer, jointing between rips. I don't stop the motor between operations. Using the PowerPro as you describe would necessitate changing the speed between these two op...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Shopsmith, Inc. Has A New Owner
I think the headstock should be redesigned around the PowerPro components in multiple forms. One form would replace the conventional headstock. The auxiliary spindle can be eliminated reducing the parts count, Ed, how would you accommodate the Jointer with such a design? In my opinion it's high eno...

Re: BREAKING NEWS: Shopsmith, Inc. Has A New Owner
Does he use a Shopsmith? Nick said his grandfather owned and used a 10ER, which is now owned and used by his uncle. He now owns all the Shopsmith tools he wants. Shopsmith doesn't need to be owned by a woodworker, it needs to be owned by a businessperson. Nick is that, and that's good enough for me.

Someone will win a free Shopsmith 510, Bandsaw & Jointer Sunday, Sept 17th
In case you missed it, there’s just one week left to register to win YouTuber John Malecki’s Shopsmith, & bandsaw & jointer! That’s right, this is the machine that he maligned a few months back in his video, but that I had the pleasure of aligning in a video that was posted about two weeks b...

Re: OFFICIAL: SHOPSMITH 75th Anniversary Celebration Event – October 6-7, 2023
I’ve given it a lot of thought and I’m finally able to say that I’m in! Should be a fun event. Scott

Based on this photo, posted by r_mack1969 in 2014, it looks like Magna American changed the carriage lock before they adopted the hand wheel for height adjustment.

Re: Working on a Mark VII, with help from this community!
Scott did say in his video that there were some changes making the earlier Mark VII different from later ones. I still have a lot to learn, but some of the changes that took place over the years were (in no particular order) - Foot added to each end to connect the front and back “rails”. - Cam lock...

Re: Working on a Mark VII, with help from this community!
IIRC the MVII did not have a 1 1/8 hp motor. My recollection says 1.0 hp. You might want to point out some of the MVII things that preceded the 510... The 10" disk sander will mount reversed and will fit into the saw insert. Thanks for chiming in @JPG! My MVII has a 1 1/8HP motor, so perhaps t...
