The data provided in the parts lists and exploded views leaves much to be desired. Thanks to the diligent work of one of the forum members (not myself), many of the resulting questions have been answered.

With Mikes' permission, I am posting a copy of a document that he shared with me. I hope that it is as helpful for each of you as it has been for me.

I will let Mike step forward, if he so desires, to further identify himself as the contributor of this fine work. I certainly hope that he will do that as he deserves the credit for this fantastically helpful collection of information.

Mike went a giant step further than I would have to make this data all come to fruition. He actually purchased the parts that you see pictured here from Shopsmith and used the shipping documents to help compile and validate the data.

Thank you, Mike. I do not believe you realize just how much you have done for this Shopsmith community.

I have never purchased serrated (or cupped) set screws and yet I have them in my shop. Conclusion: they came there installed in some part of the Shopsmith equipment that I have in the shop.

Your conclusion is true there are cupped set screws used on Shopsmith Mark Models. Way tubes held into the Bench Ends come to mind.
