Do I have any other options besides buying the Eccentric Mounting Tubes? To keep bandsaw on while going in drill press mode.
Thanks for your comments.

Re: Bandsaw While lifting
Tilt the band saw table as far as possible. This will just barely give you clearance to go vertical.

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

I always take the band saw off and store it. Of course when you have a Mark 7 you have no choice. But then you get the option of using the band saw on either end, just remember to switch to reverse first when on the opposite end.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Lover, Burger, the Model 10 is just about the best Drill-press,
as well as the best Lathe, in the whole Shopsmith lineup.
Of course, I could be wrong, that is just my opinion.
(Thanks to Dennis Miller, who I just STOLE that from.)

Thanks for your comments.
Reviews on this forum complain that the bandsaw wobbles a bit when using these tubes.
I really don't understand what the wobble would hurt.
