I restore Shopsmiths as a hobby. Because of their age all the Model 10E and 10ER's I restore get new cords and a switch. Depending on the motor the new wire connection goes to a terminal or spliced to the wire the cord is attached to. For the ground wire I use a ring terminal and attach it under the...

When my 10E S/N 1077 was made the bench ends and retractable casters did not exist yet but I built it's bench with the...

Eric, It is actually a Model 10ER. For some reason when they changed from the Model 10E to the 10ER they only put ER on the Logo/Serial Number Plate. It may have been done to save redesigning the printing on the plate since 10ER would not fit in the space 10E did. Later it was redesigned and Model 1...

Everett, Are you sure you want to upgrade the retractable casters to 3" instead of keeping them original? Changing the casters will require drilling new holes. Does this Chrome 10ER have a Serial Number? Do you now know if it the same one Bob Chambers is standing next to in the picture? Remembe...

Hi Matt, Your Model 10ER looks to be fairly complete. Depending upon what is found in the box. Hopefully an eccentric as JPG mentioned. It is like a large bolt and nut with a #2 Morris taper hole through it. I you need a picture to help identify it I can take one for you. As you disassemble your Sho...
