Serial is either25193,85193, or possibly 95193. It is partially covered by brad! I am needinn info on how to obtain a tool rest arm that will fit this unit any help would be greatly appreciated. New member to group and new owner of model ER.

Serial# is definately #25193! Will other rests fit this?

Any 10e/er tool rest stuff will fit.

scallaway68,

Welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. Congratulations on your new-to-you Model 10ER.

As JPG has already said,

Any 10e/er tool rest stuff will fit.

The Lathe Tool Rest Assembly, no matter which version of the parts all fit into the same diameter hole in the Carriage for use. The Model 10E and 10ER Tool Rest Arm can be found used on online auction/sale sites and will be found both by itself (rarely) or as the Lathe Tool Rest Assembly and may also including the 8" Tool Rest, Post and Collar. I encourage you to find the best deal for yourself. Do know that the Lathe Tool Rest Assembly for the Mark 5/V has a different Arm and Post and are not interchangeable with the Model 10's. Except for the very first 8" Lathe Tool Rest having a threaded in post to attach to the arm, the more common 8" Lathe Tool Rest itself is primarily the same today as it was going back to 1948 for the Model 10's. The 8" Lathe Tool Rest itself (not the assembly which includes the Arm or Post) will look the same no matter which Shopsmith Tool it is actually for.

Since I don't see a picture in your post, I am guessing here that your Model 10ER has a Serial Number with the prefix ER before 25193 similar to the plate shown below.

If so your Model 10ER was made in the Eastern Plant and best guess it was likely made in 1949.

If you have any additional questions about your Shopsmith feel free to ask. Including pictures as part of the description does help.
