help with my new-to-me shopsmith.

[Crimekilla]

A big thank you to Fred over in south east Michigan for the hook up on parts. He got me almost up to scratch on the parts I needed. Still looking for a Drill chuck, and a good lathe arbor for the head stock, but all told I think I'm gonna be around $450 into this 500 powerhead with a 510 body upgrade.
About 100 bucks and a weeks worth of time more then I could have bought a full 510 for, LOL but a lot of knowledge gained.

[Crimekilla]

can someone post the width measurement of the spacer that sits between the powerhead and table carriage for the 510. i need to print one for the new 510 table assembly

[HopefulSSer]

Just measured mine at 1.35"

You could 3D print but a piece of PVC would do it as well

[Crimekilla]

i have to justify having bought the 3d printer, ,LOL

I don't know if you noticed it in my last post but the part in picture 5 looks like the Base Plate, as shown below, for the Gray Shopsmith Scroll Saw.

LOL, id say it seems weird to have just that part of the scroll saw, but after all I've read about these things, having only parts is a norm. some guy out there is scouring the internet looking to replace the missing baseplate to his scroll saw, while im out scavenging for the missing table to my strip sander.

I'm guessing that if you are missing the Table for your Strip Sander you are likely missing the Trunnion and screws too. Hopefully you have the Locking Knob and washers still. The Table parts are available new from Shopsmith and are currently 15% off regular price. If you're not in a hurry, you could try to find them used. I haven't seen that many parts for the Strip Sander for sale used but they do come up from time to time.

As for the Scroll Saw Base Plate you could put it up for sale locally and it may get to the one it came off of. If you're lucky that person may have your Strip Sander Table and you could trade. Maybe wishful thinking but you never know, it could happen.
