Can a 12" Planer w/o feed motor be converted to manual feed?
Considering getting a used 12" planer, but the one I am looking at doesn't have the feed motor. (Variable speed switch is reportedly included but not presently attached.) In looking at Shopsmith Service Parts for the planer, don't see any mention of manual feed crank. Does anyone know if manual...

Q: How's upper saw guard upgrade (500) compared to original?

Will a 510/520 Upper and Lower Saw Guard fit on a 500?
I am a newbie to this forum, and while I haven't been able to find the answer to my question, there seem to be a lot of very knowledgeable Shopsmith owners out there willing to share their experience, so I am hoping someone will know. I have a Mark V 500 and am looking for a better upper saw guard t...
