Two immediately, one is the Rockler coffer cup holder that I posted pictures of and the other is a Lathe Steady Rest by Ron Mostel originally published in Woodworkers Journal Special Turning Projects and Techniques. I will have to make a few adjustments to accommodate the different dimensions of the Shopsmith carriage.

With your PowerPro, drilling these two holes should be like cutting butter.
If I had used my PowerPro to drill the hole it would have been but at the time I was finishing my wife's belated birthday present (a turned Cold Stone Creamery style ice cream scoop) and did not want to remove it from the lathe. Anyway its done, just waiting for the finish and glue to dry so for my second attempt I will be using the PowerPro to drill all the holes and there are several more than I originally thought about.

Infinity Cutting Tools has a slightly different version of a cup holder on sale for $9.99. I think with Dusty's measurements I can make another adapter so the one I have will be able to work in drill press mode as well.
