Hi Joe, looking at an old post from you regarding info on the shopsmith accessory stand. Did you ever get the information you requested ? I don't have it myself but would be interested in a copy also

I have one of the STP Accessory Stands (shown below) but no parts list or any printed material. Mine was made in January of 2004. I would have to go out to the shop for measurements and it's pouring down rain right now so it will have to wait. It does use the same Retractable Casters as the Mark 5/V models, new Mark 7 and Mark 4. I will have to check if it uses the spacers like the Power Station & Power Stands do.

The center Mounting Base is rotated from normal to have the middle Bandsaw face the same as the outer two.

I was able to get 4 legs from shopsmith during the free freight sale. Like you mentioned I'm pretty sure the casters will require spacers like on a power station. I have access to a sheet metal brake that will bend up to 12ga steel. Would need the size of the top flat surface & how wide the verticle overhang is that the legs are bolted to. Thanks a bunch. Absolutely NO hurry.

Bob,

Here are the dimensions for the Top of the SPT Accessory Stand. You cannot see it in the picture I posted previously but there is a horizontal angle brace on each end between the legs in the same location above the Retractable Casters as the Power Station stand. The top size is similar to the top of the Power Station except 48" wide. It is 12-1/2" Deep and does use the same legs as my Power Stations have. The sides of the top are 3" high with the same angle as the Power Station and I believe would be the same as Power Stands. Sorry I am not able to get the angle for the top to the sides. My angle finder is somewhere in the shop but I haven't found it since moving. The Retractable Casters do use the spacers.

Since you are making one you could go longer or shorter than the 48" width. If you go longer, I would recommend extra bracing front and back.

Russ, you may get this twice. I thought I posted a reply to you but it appears to have disappeared into cyberspace. Anyway, thank you for the information, it's exactly what I needed. I'll keep a material list and cost accounting of the project. Then I'll need to learn how to post pictures.

Thanks again Bob

Russ. I have acquired 3 model 10s, you know how that happens ! Each has a different model/serial number format. For your historical data would you like the numbers and how each is equipped as far as running changes. Bob

I have been collecting Information on Model 10E and 10ER Shopsmiths for a long time now. It includes the Model, Serial Number, and the versions of the Headstock, Base, Headrest, Extension Table, Tailstock, Fence, Blade Guard, Lathe Arm, Belt Cover and Trunnion Lock. These are things I can see in pictures which help identify when some changes were made to the tools. For example, I have found 7 versions of the Headstock besides some anomalies. There are other part changes that are not as easy to see unless you are seeing the tool in person like the Table Posts being solid or hollow. With clear pictures of your 3 Model 10's showing what is listed above I could add them to my list. They need to clearly show the serial number and all part in enough detail to determine the parts versions. Most of the information collected comes from For Sale ads on ebay or craigslist, some from other owners like yourself and the detailed information comes from the 27 Model 10's I have owned or still own. I still have 6 Model 10, 3 completely restored and 3 that need to be restored. The 3 I need to finish restoring include the lowest Serial Number I have owned at 1033 and the highest Serial Number I have owned at 101291. 1033 was in the first group ever made and 101291 is very near the end of Model 10ER production.

I could go on and on about this, but your Model 10 information would be a welcome addition to my list.

I'll get photos taken & send info regarding how they were outfitted by mod/ser number and post to you in the what when where category. Thanks Bob, thanks for all you do!
