What is this?
See the attached picture.. This is a setup for sale up in Oregon but I noticed it's got something that came with mine last week.. Anyone know what the white colored board is behind the SS that has two rectangular notches out of it? I've got one just like it and have no clue as to what it's used for -- nor did the prior owner of my SS.. Any ideas?

Post some pictures of the back side. There are two or three different versions - Shopsmith and others.
To the best of my knowledge, they all attach somehow to the rail. They can normally be used as either infeed or outfeed. The black cutouts are clearance tracks for the miter bar. Notice that when you are using the miter gauge and you push the stock past the blade - the miter bar protrudes beyond the outfeed edge of the table thus the cutouts.

I had one, but sold it some time ago. I use roller tables now. When not in use, it folds down neatly on the stand and can be put out of way where it doesn't take up much room.osx-addict wrote: I've got one just like it and have no clue as to what it's used for -- nor did the prior owner of my SS..

Tony -- which one folds away and doesn't take much space -- the one this thread is about or your roller tables? Just curious... Thxeldyfig wrote:I had one, but sold it some time ago.

The SS outfeed table (or rear support table). The opposite end attaches to what looks like an artist easel.osx-addict wrote:Tony -- which one folds away and doesn't take much space -- the one this thread is about or your roller tables? Just curious... Thx

The table has a bracket to attack it the the rails, and you need different brackets depending on which Shopsmith model you have. I think Shopsmith now offers an option to convert the stand to a roller and the newest version comes with two tops.
I have one if you need more information.
