Wow Ken, please tell me you're not pulling my leg, this is amazing! More pictures of the "outboard" side of the headstock if you can.kenbu wrote:Here's the "outboard" setup I use for sanding, finishing and other slow speed work. Reversible, too. It's a small 12v motor, so it's not up to the task of full-time duty.

Re: More crazy talk
I want to see more as well! I have a bass boat that I haven't used in 16 years and yep, it has a trolling motor on the nose. If this works! Wow, great idea!

Re: More crazy talk
Well, since we mentioned boat motors, how about an engine?
2 stroke engines, with the right carburetor, will work in ANY
position.
1/2 horse? the engine on my bicycle is about 3 times that.
http://www.bikeberry.com/gas-engine-kit ... troke.html
Wrong, 5 times that. But that carb is made for horizontal running only. Not
a problem, a diaphragm carb will run in any position. (Think your chainsaw.)

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Re: More crazy talk
Here's some more detail.
Parts list:
I cut another notch on the underside of the mounting board and made a little clamp to attach to the front way tube. The V belt is short enough that the mounting board does not touch the rear way tube. The weight of the assembly keeps tension on the belt.
Please post pics if you build your own!

Parts list:
- 1 unused trolling motor, shaft removed
1.5 in. motor pulley
6-8 in. driven pulley
2 x 6 x 22 in. mounting board
V belt
3 large hose clamps
Misc. hardware
12v DC power source

Lover, you of the dirty mind,
I said "Diaphragm CARB."
Your ex had one of those?
(How did she hook it up?)
Do NOT post pictures, this is a

Re: More crazy talk
Thanks for the additional details Ken. I am saving your pictures in a pdf for future reference. Can I bother you for another picture or 2? I would like to see what you're spinning with your old trolling motor. Is it a sanding disk? What woodworking problem did you solve with this most creative use of what you had at hand? I will never look at a trolling motor the same againkenbu wrote:Here's some more detail. Please post pics if you build your own! Ken
Ken, it's people like you that make this forum the treasure that it is and make me appreciate my Shopsmith.

Re: More crazy talk
Like most people who turn on their Shopsmiths, I often want a slower speed -- for sanding or applying finishes -- and the ability to turn in reverse -- again, for sanding or for turning difficult grain. The Powerpro upgrade probably provides much more functionality than my trolling motor, but it's too pricey for me.tomsalwasser wrote:I would like to see what you're spinning with your old trolling motor.
