Good Morning Everyone;
Ya Know, I've seen Shop Smith equipment on sale on different venues forever and never really thought much about them. Well yesterday I had an opportunity to buy one and did.

I'm an old goat and have a boat load of wood working tools but this model ER has amazed me on how cleverly it's made.

I've taken a few pictures and have several questions about bringing this lathe back to life. What do I have to do to load the pictures for review by all of you knowledgeable owners?

Thank you, and happy to be here.

And this is a file I put together with a list of online links to resources for the 10ER
That should get you started on your adventure, but feel free to ask any questions you have,

Welcome to the Shopsmith forum boxerman.

I’m sure you enjoy the group of people here.

Good luck with your 10ER..

Welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. Follow the instructions at the links already given and post your pictures. As for questions, ask anything you want information about. We are happy to help.

Although on your Shopsmith it says Model ER on the logo/serial number plate, it is actually a Model 10ER. Why does it say ER instead of 10ER, well that's a discussion already had on this site so I wont go into that now. The link below is a collection of information I posted on the Model 10's.

A word of caution - owning Shopsmiths can be addicting. I had wanted one most of my life. My father-in-law gave me his when down-sizing. I got hooked and now I restore older Shopsmiths as a hobby.
