gotta luv it
I have to admit, I'm already using mine even without fully knowing what all it will do. Handy dang thing to have around the shop. Especially handy when you don't have a conventional woodworking bench. My "bench" is two heavy commercial metal desks with melamine tops. They're tough as nails but I haven't figured out how to install vises on them yet. Maybe now I don't need to!wannabewoodworker wrote:Actually after reading this thread i went and checked out the website and you can get the whole shebang for $249.00 right now. I want one bad!

A small glitch
Shouldn't the saw table on a 510 just crank up and off of the carriage? Mine seems to be hung up at the top but I can't see any obvious reason why it would just slide on off?

Mine has done that from time to time and I find it is time to do a cleaning and waxing and that solves the problem. I am going to look for one of those vises Look handy to me.

Zyliss
It is interesting and confusing sometimes how the internet works. Because of this discussion about Zyliss, I was browsing for a site that sold Zyliss parts. I search for Zyliss gives me kitchenware so I modified the search to "zyliss vise".
This brought me to this site. On the title bar, far right hand side you will find Shopsmith which links to this site.
You are not the only one looking for parts. This guy is too and he found them (scroll down).
I believe Mike Young is the connection. This is the person advertising for people to demo the Shopsmith PowerPro. Some of you may know Mike Young from the past (Shopsmith road demonstrations in the box stores and county fairs). Looks like he is back as are the traveling demonstrations.

Gee, thanks Bill, so I have to clean and wax to solve the get the table off but I can't get the table off to clean and wax. Is this a conundrum or being between a rock and a hard place?!?!?!wlhayesmfs wrote:Mine has done that from time to time and I find it is time to do a cleaning and waxing and that solves the problem.

Let the fun begin...
Last night I finally started getting into this unit to address whatever problems it might have. It turned out to be a good evening.
Removing the headstock: the tubes are a bit rough but the tiebar came away easily enough and the headstock slid off with a bit of effort.
[ATTACH]12364[/ATTACH]
Here's the headstock in a "Sawdust Session" inspired jig to hold it for repairs/maintenance.
[ATTACH]12365[/ATTACH]
First off, the belt cover. As you can see, just some sawdust inside and the expected rusting from condensate inside the cover.
[ATTACH]12366[/ATTACH]
And next, the motor pan. Same story.
[ATTACH]12367[/ATTACH]
And now we can finally get our first look inside the headstock.
[ATTACH]12368[/ATTACH]
Not any real crud anywhere, just some compacted sawdust. Time to get out the small brushes and fire up the air compressor......

The ends of the table support tubes are quite accessible with the table lowered and then raised to vertical. Probably crud near the ends that jams in the carriage bore(or they be dinged:().
That hammer shown it the 'other' post is quite big enough!;)

it's a virgin
From everything I saw last night as I began cleaning the headstock, I'm fairly certain this unit has never been opened up. It still has the putty in the quill setscrew and the spindle knob setscrew:
[ATTACH]12371[/ATTACH]
Also, the motor pan bolts were really difficult to break loose and remove. I ended up using a Phillips bit that fit tight with a crescent wrench and trying to turn as I tapped it with a rubber mallet. Inside everything was there, including the paper dust shield on the switch.
And I think it is fairly low hours. As I was cleaning inside I thought I could see some wear on the teeth on the pork chop assembly. Turned out to just be a little impacted sawdust that I got out with a pick.
Everything seems to turn smoothly and do whatever it is supposed to do without any roughness or difficulty. The quill feed teeth weren't even very dirty.
Bottom line, I'm going to oil, lube, wax, etc. all the things that need it, put things back together, go thru a thorough alignment process and start making sawdust. At this point, priming the inside of the belt cover and motor pan, and cleaning up the tubes are the biggest obstacles to being up and running. Well, that and cleaning up the miter bar which is REALLY rusted.
Now, if I can just find someone local who sells 1" OD tubing for the floating tables, I'm all set.

Now would be a perfect time to replace all the bearings as you are half way there. It isn't all that difficult as long as you have a bearing puller assembly which can be bought from Harbor Freight which I got last year on sale for $30-40. I just finished doing all the bearings except the sheaves and special bearing on the end of the speed adjustment sheave. Those cannot be easily replaced and were in good shape although the end bearing for the sheave with the loop for the porkchop probably could use a replacement. I soaked it oil and will go with it as is and if it gives me any grief I will order one off of Ebay. If you do all of the bearings now then you won't have any worries at all for a long time.
