Might of helped if I read the whole post. I didn't see that. Atleast now he has it up at the top right corner...

Interesting pix. The quill appears strange. Is it partly extended? Nice pile of project wood!:D That motor appears much 'larger' than a stock 1/2 HP!

Welcome and Good Luck with it!

Year???

Post by ozarkboy2 »

How do I find out what year this 10ER was made? Yes the Quill is partley extended. And I believe the motor may be 3/4 h.p...:o
Previous owner told me this was a scroll saw attatchment. I'm thinking it's a Jig Saw myself... Seems to be somewhat froze up.

That is definitely not the stock 10ER motor! But if it's more HP, I wouldn't complain. :)

Also, that is a jigsaw, not a scroll saw. It mounts on top of the ER and uses the ER table (with a special jigsaw insert) for its table. And it's not a particularly good jigsaw either. Very jumpy.

Check out the 10ER Yahoo group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shopsmith10ERusers/. It's a great resource for 10E/ER owners. You can estimate the year your ER was made with this document. It's survey results from other 10ER owners. When the original purchase date was known, it was noted. See where your SN falls between the known dates.

EDIT: The link to the document was broken (thanks mickyd for pointing that out). It's fixed, but you might have to be logged in to the Yahoo group for it to work.

O.k. my serial number isn't listed, but the numbers fall in the date of March, 1950. Now to find the broken piece for the Jig Saw. I haven't noticed a "Classified" section on this web sight. Is there one?

Welcome, Ozarkboy from a fellow Missourian: Kahoka in the NE corner of the state. Both my kids went to Missouri State and we had a house in Springfield for 5 years while they went to school.
My first ShopSmith was a ditch-rescued 10ER and I'd like to find another.

No classifieds on this forum. Couple options are to sit tight and a forum member who has one with contact you OR join this ER users yahoo group who deals with buying / selling. It may takes a few days for membership to be approved.

My guess is someone from here will provide contact info.

Hack repair

Post by ------------------------ »

Here is a photo of a "hack repair" I did about 15 years ago. Both sides were stripped and I didn't have access to a tap/die set. I removed both set screws and used nuts inside to secure my bolts. The top left bolt in photo is locked with a nut on the outside and doesnt get moved as it is aligned for a 90 degree cut. The screw on the bottom right gets loosened and the blade slips between the little block and the left nut. It looks ugly as hell, but it has 100's of hours of precision die-making on it and it has worked like a champ!

I would settle for that... The piece I have is actually split open.
