Scott also showed the bandsaw patent drawing in his YouTube video. Was it patent # US2903027A?

RFGuy,

Thanks for the links. I checked them out. Dennis you might find the information in Scott's video helpful.

Below is a link to the comment Everett made about the bevel added to the upper wheel. It is in the thread Bandsaw Blade Tracking Adjustments Etc. It is the last entry on page 17.

JPG was the OP on that one.

One thing I have noticed when getting information from Shopsmith is it is not always correct. When I called CS in 2015 about the Main Frame assembly for the Bandsaw they told me it has always been the same. I found out that was not correct. I was trying to get information to replace the damaged Main Frame on my 1998 Bandsaw. The difference I found at that time was the pressed or slip in bushings.
