Jointer, Planer, and Belt Sander Instructions?

Post by DC Ross »

Hey all,

I bought a few used accessories, but the seller didn't have the instructions for them. I wrongly assumed that I could simply download them from Shopsmith's site.
Does anyone know where I can download them from? Or, if you're bored, have a scanner, and are in a giving mood, would you scan & email them? :)

Thanks!

SS will send you xerox copies if you call and ask them nicely.

You could also use the manual for the 10er jointer.. it's more-or-less the same thing. Somebody posted a link to the belt sander manual once on one of the other SS groups.. you should be able to find it pretty quick. Can't help you on the planer.

Do you have a copy of PTWFE? Just about everything you need to know is in there.

Thanks for the reply, nimrod :)
I'll definitely give them a call. I have the book, but it doesn't go into set up or maintainance.

I bought the bandsaw, jointer, planer and belt sander used without manuals. I bought most of them right from SS for a few bucks each. Check the website, they used to be in there.

Guys, I'll check with Customer Service tomorrow and try to get a list of the part numbers for all the manuals. Then you can order whatever you need. Just to set the record straight about R.J. DeChristofor's "Power Tool Woodworking For Everyone," it's a fine book, a must-have for Shopsmith owners, but it has almost no information on alignment, adjustment, maintenance, and troubleshooting. That stuff you only get in our owner's manuals.

With all good wishes,

Ok, I was a little confused on my belt sander manual post earlier.

It wasn't the entire thing, just the alignment section, and it was posted here by Nick.

Here's the link.

That's great, nimrod, thanks! Now if we can just get them to post the same for the jointer and planer... :)

Thanks for the detailed list. This is certain to be very useful.

However, I have a question about the information provided. What are the Part Numbers shown here; how can we use them?

Example: 845036 Jointer Manual (what is Jointer Manual, 505681-B)

845231 Belt Sander Manual (what is 6" Belt Sander Manual, 555355)

If I needed one of these, would Customer Service provide it?

Hi,

The numbers listed are the part numbers so you can order them. Depending on which item you need they have bound manual or sometime they have to make copies (lower quality pictures etc).

If you go to the main shopsmith pages and get into the owners area you can then enter these numbers and find the price and if they are in stock. You can order on line or give them a call.

Some information is on-line at:
http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/productmanuals.htm
but most items have to be ordered. Sometimes they come up for sale on ebay but do your home work, they are often cheaper at shopsmith.

They are copyrighted materials... so keep that in mind and afford them the proper use of their materials, in this case manuals.
