Ripping cut not straight but bowed.

Would like to see pics of set up on the Shopsmith....

I am out off town till next week will get a pic or two then. I have the 520 so I got 2 SS T nuts, the optional aluminum mounting bar for the board buddies (think I got mine at Woodcraft at the time), drilled new holes in the bar to fit the top of the 520 fence and that's it.

Just checked and here is the link to the parts at Woodcraft http://www.woodcraft.com/category/20037 ... llers.aspx

The miter gauge on this 1955 is missing the hold-down and perhaps the boss to which it attaches, and the slot tensions screw. Are these parts readily available?

Yes. The 'safety grip' uses existing holes(a tapped hole above the pivot, and a through hole on the 'rear' end).
