Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
FWIW turning that dial does require substantial torque at even mid speeds(runaway high speed positions excepted!!!).

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
I have shimmed carefully to be tight enough not to run away at the high end while keeping my cam centered in the follower. It works well.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Thin shims under the circlip that holds the control disc on will tighten the detents. In my case I need to centre the cam as well so thin shims where the arrow is in the picture will adjust the position of the cam in the follower while adjusting the detents at the same time. When you get the balance it works great.
With a standard cam just under the circlip should tighten the detents.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
I tried some wax on the cam. Now it turns down more easily to a low speed of 680ish. However it is under such pressure at that end that with the wax is slips back to around 720. I can live with that. ![😁](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f601.svg)

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Yes, mine is hard to turn at slow speed also. I usually use 2 hands to turn it.
I also had to shim mine up at the shaft to get the detents to hold . Works great, no problems with speed drift anymore.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
This is for JPG.
Back on page 8 of this thread we were discussing what I might find inside the headstock of the greenie on the quill advance shaft. Well I got into it yesterday while replacing the gilmer belt. It was interesting. There were no washers at all inside, way too many on the spring side, and the cup washer under the quill brake. It actually kind of worked if you cranked the brake hard enough. The last picture is the “extras” for the spares drawer.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
How to lubricate...
I have the Woodmaster 7 in 1 1981 Version of the shop smith 7-1.
It came with a green manual that states to turn on and set speed dial to Route-Shape first then turn off. Remove the name plate on back of headstock, hand turn spindle until a hole can be seen in the shaft. Add 3 drops of oil. No hole.
Also states there are holes in the motor shaft under the spring. Nope! Not there either. A 1 1/2" tube extends as the shaft sleeve then its wrapped or surrounded by a spring. I'm supposed to hand turn spindle until the hole is exposed, but there isnt a hole.
I could get some oil in between the sleeve and shaft that extends from inside of spring but that may just make a mess.
I need to get this thing lubricated.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Wow! Great job.
But how would you handle lubricating this.

Pls lend me some of your knowledge.

To comment on SplintersNmeoveralls posts above go to the thread "How to lubricate when there are no holes for lubrication" which already has responses posted. No need to duplicate information here.
