My Shopsmith 10ER
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2018 8:33 am
Not sure where to start. I have been reading threads for several weeks now. And I have learned a lot. It seems some experts here know just about everything there is about the 10E and 10ER. So now it's time to ask questions.
First a little bit about myself. I purchased my first Shopsmith in the 70's. Serial number 34916. In the 80's I completely refurbished it. This link has some photos:

The original owner was from Lebanon Oregon. He wrote a letter to Magna in 1963. I do not have his letter. But I do have the letter Magna sent him and a 4 page brochure telling how to align different parts. My question pertains to the brochure. The title is "How To Align Sawsmith".
Anyone have suggestions as to why they call it a Sawsmith? Everything is on Magna stationary. The letter, envelope and brochure. The letter is signed by J.A. Kiernan. It is not a pre-printed signature.
Front and back of the brochure scanned and posted here. If anyone is interested I will upload the inside pages too.
