The $100 speed changer

Post by kevinkkm1 »

I know that i need to get the lathe speeds lower so i can turn bigger things. The problem is that i don't see myself forking down $100 (about the same cost of my shopsmith!:( ) for a speed reducer for my shopsmith 10E. Isn't there something that I can build for less?

The speed reducer DOESN'T fit the 10E. So your going to have to come up with something different.
SS 500(09/1980), DC3300, jointer, bandsaw, belt sander, Strip Sander, drum sanders,molder, dado, biscuit joiner, universal lathe tool rest, Oneway talon chuck, router bits & chucks and a De Walt 735 planer,a #5,#6, block planes. ALL in a 100 square foot shop.
