What Is This?

Post by algale »

Despite the seller's claim, it certainly isn't a Shopsmith, although the table and tubes look like they might have come from one.

There is one (less complete) listed on Vintage Machinery, but they don't have a manufacturers name either.

Oh, wow, the "tubes" aren't tubes at all but diamond-shaped in profile.

A square turned 90* is a diamond. At least I would say that as did Al.

A square turned 90 degrees, is still a square.
Both will have a flat top, bottom and sides.

Now, turn the square 45 degrees, and it will
(still being a square) have points on top,
bottom and sides. You could call that a
diamond. I however, consider a diamond
to not have 90 degree corners. I'm thinking
60 and 120 degrees.

But, we're splitting hairs here, when not
picking nits! :D

Oh, just found this, for whoever said tubing
can't be square, and there are MANY more
companies selling stuff like this.

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.
