And that tail stock mount for the center is an E/ER difference as well as the extension table mount.

You also need some kind of drive mechanism, A, here is the basic drive spur. B, is a dead center,and C, is a live center. You can also use faceplates, and chucks. Yes, all the drive stuff mounts where you have the drill chuck.

That whole BIG piece of cast iron, with the motor underneath, is the headstock. There is a lock, that thing with the bent handle, by the front way tube, that locks it in place. there is another, that locks the quill in place, too.

Any more questions, just ask.

Here is another source. I've dealt with him before, and recommend him.

Thanks for the tip on ordering through hogwinslowwoodworking. I got my first order and was very pleased. Have any of the group ordered through Ebay? It seems like they have a lot of varying prices for the same thing even with or without shipping. I'm always cautious ordering from someone who is not reputable and end up getting something that is not as it is pictured. I'm going to continue to order through hogswinslowwoodworking but if they don't have something I would need a alternate place to go to.

I've gotten stuff from Ebay, and, for the most part, it's been OK. I also get computer parts there, too,

From my experience, if you aren't getting a highly critical part, (or, if you are getting a rare part) Ebay is OK.

BUT, sellers that live here, (Tom, BillMayo, and a couple of others that hang out here, are your best bet.

Watch CAREFULLY, prices on Ebay. Seriously! I've seen stuff selling on Ebay (Used) for more than the new stuff from Shopsmith. (If SS doesn't have that product, Ebay may be your only source.) For most of my ER stuff, that is what I have to deal with. (Or, Tom.)
