Thanks everyone for your help, especially you Tom for taking the time and effort to scan and post the manual.
I find myself checking this forum constantly since I joined. I never could understand why others didn't share my enthusiasm for the Shopsmith, but I think I have found the rest of the cult.
I look forward to sharing some of my experiences with my shopsmith over the years.

I have scanned the manual and have it in both PDF and DOC formats. However, the forum is not allowing me to upload the files at this time.
I'll try again later, or if you email me, I will forward the documents to you.

Did you use the advance reply? Is the file size within limits? 4.77mb for a .DOC and 5.72mb for a .PDF.

When was this item offered for sale? It would seem to make a fine addition especially for applying finishes with a sprayer.

It looks like they were offered in the 50's and 90's.
Shopsmith Air Compressor Performance

How does the Air System work? Does it work effectively with a nail gun? Is it really loud (i.e. my Porter Cable pancake compressor was outrageously loud).
Is there an inexpensive way to use the nailer such as buy a cheap air tank? That would be a much quieter process I would think.

ShopSmith no longer offers the air compressor, but you may find a used one. Part of the noise that your Porter-Cable compressor generates, is due to the motor that ran the compressor. The noise that your ShopSmith motor makes will replace
that part of what you hear.
