Shopsmith Forums

I recall the nova adapter thread, but do not remember any thing other than the question being 'raised' whether all arbors etc. had an angled set screw.

I see we now have a sample that says yes.










Maybe my memory has run off with Dusty's!:D

Now that I think more about it, yes it was Laugh In, for some odd reason I get the two mixed up in my mind. If it were not for bad guesses I have no guesses at all....

I first found a problem with the PSI 1 x 8 tpi adapter. One of several issues came out when I investigated, including the set-screw being vertical. There have been many subsequent discussions mostly having to do with lathe hardware.

I thought it was clear that this is typical of shopsmith hardware, but I guess I never said so??? Sorry.

One thing I don't know is if this is also common on the old iron. My 10er stuff is out of reach so maybe someone could take a look at that age equipment?? If I were guessing I'd say it too uses the angle. BTW if you find a long screw to put in place of the set-screw it is a lot easier to see.

And how many years ago was that?

Looked at a 10 vintage sanding disk(late version) and an arbor. Neither was 'skewed'. Keep in mind the set screws are different sizes.

I looked at a older 1 1/4" arbor(of unknown ancestry) and it was skewed.

A MV sanding disk was skewed.

I could not get to my 'original' m5 arbor but my money is on 'skewed'.

Laugh-in was really cutting edge stuff then. It would be considered Pablum now...

Did I just date myself again by saying Pablum?

Naw! That is a done deal.



I was in the DR waiting room last week and this lady and her daughter were talking about movies. The mother was commenting on that 'pretty' actress and it took her a while to think of her name.


















Betty Grable!:D











She was a score older than I!












I already look older than she!:(









At least I was not in a wheel chair!:rolleyes:

Not all that many years ago. I retired in 1998. Hummmm, that can't be right. I was working when we experienced the 2K scare.

"... gloom, despair, and agony .. oooh meeeee."

I bet you can get this one right. One of the shows had Goldie Hawn, and the other had Barbi Benton. Which show had Barbi?

I just bought a headstock rebuild kit from these folks. Good price, fair shipping costs. But most of all had the parts in under a week!
