Convert Power Station to 60V Dewalt Battery

Post by alohacnc »

Hello Y'all,

I have been trying to sell two Shopsmiths and a Power Station to no avail. I need to get rid of them because I need the room in my shop for professional stationary equipment.

I have recently purchased some of Dewalt's new 60v max tools. They are fantastic.

So I'm looking at my Power Station with my sander on it and thinking, "why not convert this to run on my 60v batteries and make it cordless? Then I can have a cordless bandsaw, scroll saw, and jointer in a small package."

So that's what I'm going to do.

All I want to ask here is is anyone interested in me posting the project?

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.
