What not to disassemble??
I am new to Shopsmiths and am beginning my first complete restore of a 1957 mark v. I have removed the motor and completely disassembled the bench. What parts of the headstock should be left alone if any? I want to clean all parts if possible. Thanks!
Don't take apart anything you don't think you can put back together!

Take pictures as you disassemble. Lay things out in the order they were taken off. Keep all screws, nuts, bolts etc. in a covered can. I have several Frito-Lay cans that had bean dip in them that I use. If you have some concerns about taking something apart come back to this forum and you will probably find it in the archives.

As you disassemble each 'set of parts', put all hardware in a baggie and identify from whence they came.
Yes do take pix. If screws etc. differ, take a pix showing from whence they came.
As for anything to 'not disassemble' it is all 'reassembleable' without any 'factory' tools.
Also 'we' be a place to ask about putting it back together.

I agree with everything posted here with one tiny exception. Avoid dismantling the spring housing on the quill. It can be put back together but it can also be very frustrating doing so. I got cut up pretty good by letting the spring uncoil when I should not have.
If you find yourself doing this...be careful and when you are done...use some disinfectant spray on the cuts and scratches. Once you have had this experience you are not likely to do it again.
Now some will say - "I don't now what he is talking about. It went right together for me". Yeah, OK. I'll believe that after I have seen it.

Good advice! When removing the quill, do not let the handle spin back - allow it to recoil slowly.dusty wrote:I agree with everything posted here with one tiny exception.

Then do NOT remove the spring from the housing!
But do not fear it can be put back together, it just is difficult at best.

This is old, but I want to add for the next person:
Put your phone in a ziplock. You can still use the touchscreen through the bag, with rubber gloves on (to my surprise) and can shoot pictures well enough. Otherwise you'll scratch up your screen mighty bad. At least this one I learned from someone else's mistake. For once!
