I have enough parts to make another Shopsmith except for one of my castings is broken.

The Greenie Bench (lower) tubes are a larger diameter, so the castings are different. So, Yes*. They will work if you also use the bench tubes. Or depending on which casting is broken.

Thanks

The significant greenie differences include the bench tubes being 1 7/8 rather than 1 3/4. The base(end) castings differ so as to accomodate the larger tubes. By using a small spacer with 1 3/4 tubes the c-c spacing can be maintained if necessary(not all that important imo).

The way tubes etc. are the same all the way to the M7.

10ER Shaper-Router Fence? I don't have much knowledge of 10E accessories and never heard of this but it does look cool.

It's for sale on eBay:https://www.ebay.com/itm/275102705440?m ... nl%3Dmkcid

It is the Jointer-Shaper Fence for the Model 10E and 10ER that replaces the Table Insert when using it. The downside on this one is the missing clamp, washer and wing nut that holds it to the Table. In the first picture the left side set is there but the right side set is not.

The missing clamp should be fairly easy to make and the wingnut is replacable(albeit of lesser substance).

A jointer cutter would be a nice addition.

This one is a certainly a bargain, a Model 500 for $50: https://vermont.craigslist.org/tls/d/es ... 88889.html

Looks like serial #150699 from 1982. May not come with anything not shown in the picture but a great deal for parts or a 2nd machine.

Interesting 'second' table.

Free 10E available: https://providence.craigslist.org/tls/d ... 48968.html

Looks pretty good for the price.

The ad is still up. If someone doesn't take that thing I'll be forced to go get it myself.
