Shopsmith Forums

Anyone know of a place in the Seattle Washington area that repairs the headstock? My SS just started going slow only. I have oiled it but probably not as often as I should. The bottom Sheave appears stuck. I tried to take it apart based on documents on Shopsmith web site, but something is still not perfect. It goes from slow to fast way to soon. Would feel more secure if someone that knows it better could take a look at it.
Thanks for any info

PM me - I am in redmond and have torn apart quite a few headstocks recently.

If you need better instruction, watch sawdust session videos 22 thru 24.

Are you still working on Shopsmiths? I am in Bothell and I have an older machine which needs some work.

yes, here and there. I just redid a headstock top to bottom a couple weeks ago

The head was taken apart and never reassembled. The screws were lost and it needs a new electrical cord. I don't know if it needs anything else. Would you be able to get it back into running condition?

Should be able to. Really the biggest issue is how much is still there, and what needs to be replaced. I can get you setup. Just email me and we can go from there.

Is Damagi from Redmond still active here? Or anyone else in Puget Sound area who is knowledgable? I am in Seattle and have a bunch of parts I'd like to sort through in order to find a good home for them. Mostly older parts that I have upgraded from. Thanks.

I am looking for a repair part for an old 4" jointer that came with my old, old shopsmith. The jointer is Model 4E, serial # 10253. Looking for the Quadrant assembly. Might you have a source for this part? Thanks.
