All you need to do, is either lift the headrest
and pivot base above the bench, with a few
sections of 2X6, or cut a relief in the gap between
the bench boards.
If you have a decent table saw, (Shopsmiths as
a rule are a weak table saw, and the Model 10
is the weakest!) just use the boards to lift it.
If you are more than 5 ft 8 inches tall, and want to use
your Model 10 as a lathe, DO THE LIFT!
(Oh, about me and the Model 10, I've currently
got 3, 2 brothers have 2 each, and 2 friends have
them.)

One 'could' move the capacitor.
Be aware it is likely has sleeve bearings and the yellow plugs might come out when mounted with them pointed downward.

Thanks for all the answers everyone!
I'm new to shopsmiths and I wanted to clarify a few things.

I'm not quite sure I understand you there could you explain it a bit more?\

By the way, I am restoring the 10ER Owners Guide to improve overall legibility and I will post that in these forums when I am done. Should be in next few weeks.
Looking forward to it!

I dont know what to compare it to, go to the SS products and check out lathe centers and check the prices.

Anything that attaches to the 5/8" drive on the 10e/10er is also compatible with the newer Shopsmiths. (Disk sander, drill chuck, lathe centers for example.) The add-on tools that fit the later Shopsmiths won't fit the 10ER though due to different mounting methods and drive systems. The 10ER is a great machine and I hear they are the best for lathe turning due to the heavier weight. I had one, until Everett talked me out of it.

Yes indeed. I got the 10E from you that I had wanted for years and it is in really good condition
Once I acquire a speed changer I will use it for turning bowls.

And the 1 3/4" quill as well.

I've always wondered if the Model 10 quill was made
from extra pieces of Model 10 way tubes?

If you ever do spindle turning, you WILL want the live center.

Trust me!
Oh, look on Ebay, ANY Morse #2 taper live center will work.
Number 2 Morse, is Number 2 Morse. Period!

Ah, but the length and end shape may vary.
Folks have been known to deviate from the lengths in the chart below.
