Before the current version of the Overarm Pin Router (which clamps to the way tubes), there were a couple of stand alone Overarm Pin Routers marketed by Shopsmith.

Does anyone know the diameter of the tube that the the old-style OPR clamped on to? There's one near me and I'm wondering if it could be adapted to attach to the way tubes like the current version.

Thanks,

Al

2-3/4" dia. Al, see my PM to you.

If you want to explore the manual showed pictures of the arm mounted to a drill press. Don't know if an original tube or a drill press of the correct size would be the easiest to find.

BTW they warn against trying to shim to get it to fit.
