Overarm Pin Router: why the table?

Good Grief, gregf! Your storage space beats anything I could imagine!

I took a snapshot of my storage spot today and just hate to waste it. These little drawers have three compartments - the dividers will lift right out if needed. I plan to build 6 more of these drawers.

The lathe parts can share the space until more drawers are made. Actually, the lathe centers were there first!

Charlese, seeing your divided drawer made me wonder about something. The little red power key, how many did we receive when we bought the machines? For some reason, I had it in my mind that we received (2), but when I pulled everything out of storage, I only found (1)

One, only per switch! I had to change out a burned out switch and saved the pull out for the time in the future when I lose one.

For what its worth......I don't like to walk too far to get a Shopsmith Acc. part, so I built these on small HF furniture dollys.

Well, my OPR order status has gone from "being shipped" to "In-process"
I'm assuming this is a good thing, and indicates it's getting closer to the door.

6/26 8:00am Well it's back to "being shipped".
Maybe it really is being shipped?

Silly me, "being shipped" doesn't mean it's being shipped.
Checked with customer service.
Guestimated date was June 20 is now July 11.

Maybe the status should be "your guess is as good as ours".

Or "we will ship no product before it's time".

Back when I used to deal with big iron IBM systems, when you ordered equipment or upgrades IBM called them MES's, Material Equipment Supplies as I recall.
We called them Might Eventially Ship.
Ah the world of TLA's and FLA's.

God grant me patience.... And I want it now!

IDH
This has been bothering me all day yesterday when I saw the pictures and again this morning. It seems you have a lot of duplicate parts, can you tell me why? At times I end up with an extra something or another but usually it is because it was duplicated in a package deal. However I think I remember seeing at least 5 drill chucks and I think 4 were identical.

I have duplicate power couplers, blade arbors and drive belts but I'm wondering if I should start thinking about duplicating some of my other parts.

Ed,
I am like a magnet when it comes to Shopsmith parts and I have a couple of shops. Think what Bill Mayp's Shopsmith drawers must look like. Please don't tell my wife you saw any of these pictures as I have assured her I only one of everything. Have a good day.

I saw nothing!!!!!

I wish we had our own thread for these cabinets of yours. I have so many questions.

Nice cabinets! Who manufactures the plastic boxes? Plano? If so what number are they. Can you give us some dimensions for your cabinets?
Height, width depth and the size of the plastic boxes.
I use similar plastic boxes for my parts cabinets but I sit them on my bench top. I would like to use the bench top for my jointer storage and cut it down so I could store my DC3000 that way everything would have a storage location and only one deep. Right now my DC3000 sits in front of the planner and blocks all the drawers I want to use for hand tools.

Ed,
I am not very savvy in the use of the forum so tell me what your statement,
"I wish we had our own thread for these cabinets of yours. I have so many questions." means and I will try and answer all of the questions you have on the little parts cabinets.
