I just noticed that some of the exploded diagrams that come up when looking for service parts are now zoomable. Like this one for the DC3300 http://www.shopsmith.com/service/dc3300 ... iagram.htm and this one for the bandsaw http://www.shopsmith.com/service/bandsa ... iagram.htm

I like it!

Thanks for pointing these out. These are excellent examples of an outstanding effort to bring the documentation into this century.

Thanks to Admin for that effort. I hope that the Mark V headstock is high on the list of items to be done next.

Shiny! :D

If you try click on the item number in the diagram up pops a window with an order button for the part.

The places I order motorcycle parts from do this. It makes parts orders much easier especially if you don't have a part number or know what the name of the part is.

Fantastic. This is by far the best Shopsmith drawing we have seen. Good work. I can't wait to see what other surprises you have for us. The ability to zoom and scan simply rocks*. (I picked this up from the grand kids).*

But this old man had to put on the reading glasses I thought it said Zombie Service Part Diagrams at first glance
and I only had one beer.

You might oughta change the ordering info for the collar set screw
(66)!;)


OR - IIUC it is only available as part of the whole assembly(64)? IMHO not good!


OR is it still a work in progress.:rolleyes:

Thanks for catching that, it is corrected now.

And the whole thing will be a work-in-process a very long time. I'd like to add photos and links to information we have on the site to the pop-up windows (the drive belt pop-up shows what I'm intending).
