Did the one you have come from Shopsmith? Or did you also get it with a used one?

Hi Heath,

I mistook the second respondent (Mike907) to be saying that he’d received his with a new 500 (He doesn’t actually say it’s new. Just that he’d recently acquired it). So, as someone else pointed out, this occurance does appear to be a matter of mere coincidence.

I’ve never received this piece with either of the machines I’ve bought.

That's what I thought…I knew it was part of a blade guard but for the life of me couldn't place it mentally on a SS…now it makes sense as I think back to the old Craftsman table saws I had once upon a time
'78 Mark V 500 #27995 (my Dad bought new)
'82 Mark V 500 #96309
Two '47 10E's (serial#4314+6149) - one a dedicated drill press and the other a lathe
Two 10E/ER in parts slowly being restored…#26822 and #????? (SS plate missing)

It's funny, there is a number cast on the side and when I searched "shopsmith 1234567" (whatever the number was) I got various results listing "unknown shopsmith part number 1234567". looks like we weren't alone in the confusion.

I tried that too and it took me to all kinds of things having nothing to do with woodworking or tools.

And I made the mistake of thinking you were the one who said you had one of these too! :o

It is kind of like these. Obviously not ShopSmith parts. Folks throw tools into boxes and over time lose track what belongs to their ShopSmith.

I think those are fabrication punches for a variety of uses. Not made by Shopsmith.
