Saw guard question for a 1955 SS

Post by brianvw »

The SS I recently purchased did not come with any saw guards. Shopsmith has the upper and lower for just over $225 (#505875), I'm probably looking for something used. Not finding anything out there with that part number - is that possibly a new number for an old 500 part, or is that my only option?

Used is the only source for that vintage. There are several later versions. Some of the earlier ones may fit.

You probably will not like it after vou get one.;)

I sent you PM and e-mail on this, but I got one for about $20 plus shipping through someone on the forum.
Attached is the instruction manual someone gave me on the guard as well.
