It is a late table riser I think (1951-1952). I have the digital manual but can't find it right now. I will let you know.

I got it on eBay and I don't think I have ever seen another one.

They be quite rare!!! I have only seen them twice. I assume one of them was yours when it was on e-bay! I be curious how effective it is compared to the crank.(Or how it works for that matter).

I can cut vinyl stencil. Depending on the size of the detail, sometimes the center of "o's" and "a's" don't stick very well though due to the low tack adhesive on the vinyl.

It would also take two stencils. One for the red, one for the white although the white could basically just be a circle done first so that would be easy.

I have heard that Shopsmith isn't too favorable of people reproducing their logo though?

Edit, as I see there is a black ring around the outside also.

John, can you put some "bondo" or epoxy of some kind to "smooth out" the rough cast? Painted over, it could probably be done so you wouldn't even see it after ddub's decal (vinyl) is placed. I think it would just dissappear ....

JMHO.

BTW, I think I like my crank table adjuster better .... :D

Yes, mine is the one that was on eBay. As far as working, I don't really know. I have not used this one and I don't use the crank one either because the only working 10ER in the shop at this time is the dedicated drill press.
However, if I had to guess I would think that this one would work better since it pushes straight up on the table yoke. With the crank the arm has a tendency to cock the table tubes in the carriage.

You can see how it works from the pictures. The large knob at the bottom is attached to the large threaded piece. It has a through hole for the small rod. The small knob is threaded into the "D" shaped piece and secures the "D" piece to the small rod. The "D" piece sits on top of the large threaded piece and when the large knob is turned it raises or lowers the small rod and thus the table.

It has about the same range of adjustment without moving the small rod as the crank does without moving the arm.

Ron, I believe you are right. It is an early model rather than a late model. I found the manual and the file is titled 10E Table Raiser. There is no date on the manual but by the fence in the picture it is installed on a 10E. So the table raiser is an early one not a late one.

I just thought that since they are so rare that it came out at the end of the 10ER and not many were sold.

Also notice the one in the manual is not exactly the same as the one I have. Somewhere along the line a change was made as to how the small rod was held in place.

I knew you were going to ask. :) When I left the shop after checking the pitch I thought I should have measured the diameter. Anyhow, 3/4-10 is the UNC standard so I am not going out to the shop to check. :p :)
