Just got a shopsmith 510 and the rear fence on the joiner was not attached to the joiner. I have the parts but for some reason I cant get it to together. Any help would be appreciated especially pictures.

Here is the link from SS's website, http://www.shopsmith.com/service/jointe ... iagram.htm; you should be able to zoom in, see all of the parts, and where they need to go. Hope this helps,

I got it together thanks for the help. The only question left is I can lock the vertical fence but the whole fence still is lose on the mounting bar. I
don't have a manual just ordered one today.

If you will notice the fence has a handle that engages two nuts. You have found the inner one that controls the tilt, now you have to pull the handle away from the the inner nut until the handle locks on to the outer nut which you can not really see. The bolt has two functions one is to lock the tilt and the other to locate it over the cutter head.

The two nuts I see are a black one that has a threaded collar which you screw on to the bolt from the angle scale plate and a silver one that screws
into the black collar.

You may be missing the dowel pin that presses against the front rail to clamp in place. That silver nut/screw presses against the dowel pin.

Thanks I will look the dowel pin. I have to clean the joiner it was not taken care of. I see the dowel pin on the parts diagram.
