Thanks everyone for all the input!
I was able to check everything out, lube it up as recommended and it is humming now! Belts still appear brand new in there as well!
Seems to be running great!!

Now go over it and make sure all fastening devices are secure(especially the set screws retaining the way tubes at each end). They may be well hidden(underside).davisionz wrote:Thanks everyone for all the input!

'New' 510 purchase
Be aware - you now have purchased a Barbie Doll for guys <G>. It will continue to 'ask' for accessories and other toys (which, in actuality, is a good thing).
Enjoy many years of fun ahead of you. I inherited a 510 from my father 10 years ago, and it continues grow.
Words of wisdom - be careful. My objective, when I die, is to be able to count to 10 on my fingers. An instant of inattention is all it takes.

I just purchased an unused 510 from ebay. The power chord is still in the zip tie and the factory warning labels are still on the equipment. The package included the DC3300 (slightly used), table extensions, and also the bandsaw. The list of accessories that came with it was quite long. It included everything I needed to get started.
I am coming from all entry level craftsman gear but have had limited space in which to work. My wife has always wanted to use the garage for the car (who does that?). With my kids getting older, their bikes and toys and such in the garage are getting larger, my space is dwindling these days.
I have read much over the last few years about the shopsmith system but never had the joy of getting to see one in action. I purchased a 20" shopsmith Standalone scroll saw for $40 a couple years ago. At the time i purchased it, it was in need of repair. I called up customer service for shopsmith, they helped me find all the parts I needed to get it going and even pointed out the improved blade change system (far easier blade changes now). It still runs like new and has become my favorite tool.
I can't wait to spend some time in front of the 510 and sell off all my old entry level tools. (selling those was mandated as part of my purchase)
Back to where I was going with this... Since it is unused but has been sitting for years, I wondered what maintenance you guys might recommend before I fire this puppy up?
