I realize this is not as timely as it should be, but its creation involved learning the creation of a pdf file(and making it acceptable to vbulletin) with pix and my wireless adapter deciding to act deaf.
Since its inception, Ed has already covered parts of it. I post this thread as an effort to more completely cover the 'issue' as well as provide a somewhat different aspect.

Thank you for laying that out. I especially like your method for aligning the fence to the slot on the main table. I think it is better to use a solid gauge than "eyeball" or feel the edge.

JPG, Thanks for taking the time and for your detailed explanations and pictures. They clearly show the variations between the many versions and castings of the older machines. I really appreciate your efforts. John McCrossen.
Edit: I just finished reading the other thread started by Ed Reible. My thanks to Ed and everyone else. This really shows the value of this forum to all of us. John McCrossen

Note: "older machines" as far as 'many versions' is concerned, also include the 510's. There were more changes with 510 table/rail technology than even people at Shopsmith were recently aware (and of which JPG is expert!).johnmccrossen wrote:... the variations between the many versions and castings of the older machines.
Nice "Owner's Manual" Chapter, JPG!
