Re: What is this?
Welcome aboard.
Item 1 - is a fly cutter for metal milling, not Shopsmith
Items 2 and 3 - ?
item 4 - shaper adapter (arbor) from the 50's or 60's (later production has a black oxide finish.) Looks like 1/2"
item 5 - arbor , same vintage, also looks to be 1/2"
items 6 and 7 - collars for arbor - I am not sure if they are 1/2" or 5/8"
page from accessory catalog from the 50's see items 25 and 26

Re: What is this?
Ron has done a good job of describing what you have but I would add I do not believe any of those parts are actual Shopsmith parts. The machined washers you have labeled 6 & 7 are the closest to looking like shopsmith arbor parts but are not. It is easy for non-Shopsmith parts to get mixed in over the years.
It is important to remember that all Shopsmith Arbors and spindle accessories have a 5/8” smooth bore and are made to attach to the 5/8” spindle shaft of any Model 10, Mark series or Sawsmith machine. All spindle accessories use a single set screw to attach to the reverse tapered spindle. If the accessory has other than a 5/8” smooth bore for a spindle shaft attachment or more than one set screw than it is not a Shopsmith part with 1 exception, the 2-1/2” jointer head (part numbers 129-12X & 12 230) has two 1/8” or 5/32” Allen wrench size set screws. With the introduction of the Mark 5 by Magna Engineering (sold beginning in 1954) all possible set screws were changed to the 5/32” Allen wrench size although some part numbers remained the same even into the 1960’s. Model 10 accessories used 1/8” & 3/16” Allen wrench size set screws. There are a few exceptions, examples - the current 1/4” router chuck (514632) uses 3/32” Allen wrench size set screws to hold the router bit in place and some of the Precision Molders (505553) used 3/16” Allen wrench size set screws for spindle shaft attachment and blade locks. Some parts will have the same number but a different size set screw. As an example, 12 232 the ½” Shaper Adapter had both a 1/8” and 5/32” Allen wrench size set screw depending on when it was made. Another change that started with some of the Mark 5 Arbors was the introduction of the keyed lock washer. Model 10E & 10ER Arbors did not have this feature.
