Yes, the Shopsmith headstock will fit on the smaller Total Shop tubes and will lock down OK. Alignment is the same as you do for the Shopsmith. I have replace at least 6 Total Shop headstocks with Shopsmith headstock and had no negative feedback from the owners. No Shopsmith parts will fit or work in the Total Shop headstock other than the belts. The Total Shop motor has a 56 base so can be used to power other tools. I was not able to reverse the Total Shop motor.

I have used Shopsmith parts to repair and rebuild the Total Shop SPTs. The Total Shop has a nice 6" joiner.

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. :)
