Steve,

If you have a Model 10E or 10ER like the one shown in the first picture of my previous post keep in mind they have not been made since the end of 1953. That being said many of the current Shopsmith accessories will still fit it. The Model 10's have the same size reverse tapered 5/8" Spindle as the current Shopsmith Mark models.

As for table size they only had the size you see in my picture for the Main and Extension Tables. I'm not sure what direction you want to have the Table size bigger. For more support I have a second Extension Table with a Tailstock they mount on to have on the other end for more width support when needed. Beyond that I would use support stands for additional infeed or out feed support. Honestly, since I have a Mark 7 and a Mark V 520 I use them first, which have the larger expandable Table System, before my Model 10ER seen in my previous post unless it is doing something that I cannot do on one of my Marks.

IS THERE A TABLE ACCESSORY TO INCREASE THE TABLE DIMENSIONS? I BELIEVE I CAN MAKE SOMETHING MYSELF BUT IF THERE IS SOMETHING ALREADY DESIGNED & AVAILABLE I WOULD PROBABLY GO THAT ROUTE,
One of the members on the old Yahoo 10er group made a table extension. I made a .pdf file of their posts and photos.

MKCtools at one point made an adapter to use Mark V-500 tables on a 10ER, no longer available but may be of interest.
