Since all the vertical heights have locking elements already, are they intended to go on whatever your working with as a redundant system if the locking elements fail?

I don't know if you got an answer to this or not. Those rings are right where they are advertised to be. However, I have about six of those in the shop and I often use them to set tube high on the other verticals to facilitate rapid setup after a tear down.

18oz, $7.50. The spray can is my prefered application method vs. the plastic pour bottle. Check it out here. I was able to do my entire machine with one can and I still had a bit left over.

Logo cover mounting

Post by mickyd »

On my old '55 Greenie's, how is the ShopSmith logo cover that goes over the access hole in the headstock supposed to held in place? The exploded view in the parts list doesn't show anything.

Mine is "pinned" at the top with a screw on the bottom. Remove the screw, pivot the cover up on the pin. I understand that older units have a spring clip holding it in place, but I have knot seen it myself. The "really old" ones did knot have an access hole behind the logo, but it is adviseable to cut one out there.

How was it held in place when you took it off??? or did you add the access hole, and now want to 'plug it'? The Goldie vintage have a VERY STIFF spring attached to the back of the 'medallion' and two posts which slip into two notches at opposite sides of the access hole(they do a real good job of scratching the top of your hands when you try to stick them through the hole).

Later models did away with the spring and posts as Tim has described.

If you added the hole, you are dependent on your powers of creativity!:D

P.S. Did you take any B4 pix of the back side?

It was in a box when I brought her home. No attaching hardware with it. Headstock already had the access hole. I don't have a photo right now of the logo cover but it has two pins that fit into the ears shown in the headstock photo.

It is supposed to also have that cursed stiff spring attached to the medallion/logo. I will try to post a pix.

BTW the saw blade is what happens when you leave a saw blade in evaporust and air too long. It seems to have acquired a nice black oxide finish??????

Is that spring steel on the back of the cover? Looks quite thick. Also, is it symetrical to the centerline of the cover. Note sure due to the angle the photo was taken at. Do you need to use a screwdriver to put it on by flexing the lower end of it after inserting the upper end into the headstock?
