10ER Newbie - need advice

Post by jdurrett »

Bought an old 10ER, serial no. 94091. I need to know what its missing, how to fix it up and operate it. Is there a manual on line? Other assistance available?

Welcome aboard and congatulations on your purchase.
Here is an excelent thread by our member mickeyd Restoration Progress On My 1952 ER10
Manuals and documents related to the 10ER can be found at:
Vintage Machinery
and at the Yahoo Groups (you will have to join to view the files)
10ER Shopsmith users and
erdocuments
That should get you started :) and we will be happy to answer any questions.
Also please post a pictures of you 10ER and what came with it (we love pictures) that would help us to know what is missing.

I just rebuilt one myself. I am no expert, but I do have some knowledge of the machine now .... :D

There were a lot of tools that were available for these machines, but the basics were Drill press, table saw, horizontal boring, disk sander, and lathe. Many have shaper/shaper fences, mortising attachments, etc. You will get a lot of info from the guys here.

Here is my rebuild thread if you are interested: http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewt ... 10&t=15205

Go to mkctools. Skip has forgotten more then most of us will ever know about the 10's. My suggestion start looking for your second one !
