well that S****s! Id have to make some sort of table that can stand on its own and sorta slide it up to the 10's table then... Oh boy.... and without a really good fence it may make life harder than it need be. Ill have to think o n it. Wish i knew someone who had one local.. one i could go mess with to see if i like it. Dang! could a TS from a newer model be put on the machine?
I really dont wanna spend over 3 G's for a new machine..lol

Sounds to me like you might be better off keeping yer current TS and do all that modifying to it. Then these other options you have been considering may be more relevant.

There are 2 major "issues" with the ERs.
1) the ER is made of a LOT of cast iron. If you didn't know cast iron is HEAVY! (Think drill-press mode.)
2) the saw feature is about the weakest part of the ER. (Or, any of the Shopsmith models, but the ER is the worst.)
As has been mentioned, the ER is probably the best lathe in the bunch, and I think the drill-press is great, too. (Except for that weight issue!)

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Shopsmith 10ER blade size
My 10-ER, which I have had for a number of years, S/N 66050 (passed down from grandfather), but not used much, is in need of a blade change. Current one that came with the machine is a tad warped. It is a 7-1/4".
With the standard table insert, can the machine take a larger blade size, such as an 8" or 10", or do I need to stay with the 7-1/4" size?
Additionally, something that has always bugged me, and wondering if there is a fix...The belt guard cover seems to be a bit high with dictated table heights for certain work, and when running long stock through off the left side, it makes contact with the belt cover. Is there a solution for this?
Also, can someone direct me to a good set of drive belt replacements?
Thank you for your time.

Re: Shopsmith 10ER
It was originally an 8" saw.
The belt cover was changed to provide greater clearance, but with that high SN I am guessing you already have the 'lower' one.
Post a pix.
As for the drive 'belts', do you have the speed changer(requires two belts).
