Hard maple, right? Especially hard to not have tool marks at end grain with the carbide easy wood tools. I’m fighting the same battle. I’m hoping to have better results next time using very sharp “fingernail style” bowl gouges with very light final cuts. http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-lCLgAI5r3sI...

I’ve only used black pipe, it is strong, cheap, and was in the instructions (Pony clamp heads) if I recall correctly. Good stuff but heavy.

Just to clarify, for those who didn't follow the link to the main Shopsmith page, the plastic piece being referred to above is not the splined coupler on the drive sleeve, but rather the large white cone on the back side of the quill shown in the picture below. http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/ca...

Nothing close to me, unfortunately.

I did receive the metal handles from MKCTools. Installed very easily and are a perfect solution. Can't imagine why Shopsmith would not have supplied the tool rest with something like this to begin with except for cost savings. These work very well and are about the same price point as the replaceme...

I like my easy wood tools quite a bit! Just finished this rack to make a home for them, along with my Shopsmith steel tools.

Would be nice to hear what exact screw and connector were problems during the owner upgrade. Maybe a warning in the instructions at those steps. Glad to hear it is fixed!

Just watched a video of using a single bead bit, running the wood through twice to get a similar result.

This is a rocking chair?
