✅ SHOP NOTES: That's right, your Shopsmith has a hair trigger that ideally you'll be able to avoid, but if your quill return spring breaks or if the depth gauge gets out of alignment, you might not have a choice but to tempt fate. Ok, I'm being overly dramatic. Yes, you do need to approach this carefully, but it's totally doing about and you've got this!

🎬 This video from Jacob Anderson covers a bit more about replacing the quill return spring: https://youtu.be/YbHVTwSp9DI

🎬 In this video is from Mike, from the Shopsmith forums, Mike is replacing the quill return spring on a 1940's-50's 10ER. While the techniques aren't exactly the same, many of his tips are totally transferable to modern Shopsmith tools: https://youtu.be/S66Lf9VAjnA
