New Shopsmith speed chart

I just received it today and it is truly a wealth of information. I really liked the clarity of the chart for operations. For me, the real bonus was the section describing the various glues and their adhesive properties. This chart will come in particularly useful for those who do not have the Power-Pro hand have no intention of upgrading in the foreseeable future. Te chart is quick and easy to read. HAving it laminated will make it last a lot longer. I plan to have it hanging along with my older speed chart in the shop. I believe this will prove to be a valublae reference for those who wish to purchase it.

But does the chart have the corresponding RPM settings for the Letter settings on the SS Speed dial? The image in the e-mail I received isn't in high enough resolution to see that (even if I enlarge the image in editing software). That would be important for those who have already purchased or plan to purchase the PowerPro upgrade.

I'd call CS but they aren't open on Sunday.

However - the PowerPro has it's own built in electronic speed chart.

Yes it does.

I would say the new chart is an off shoot of the Power Pro built it speed reference.

Just for clarification, does the new chart have both the letter references and rpm?

Would be nice to also have power station numbers as well. Does it?

JPG,

You phrased it much better than I. My question exactly - does it have both RPM/Letter speed information? The original question that no one has yet answered?

And the addition of Power Station numbers was also a good idea.

Or am I confused (as often happens)? I think BPR answered my original question and his reply was misinterpreted - by me and perhaps others as well.

I may have created the confusion. After posting my thread, I reread your question. The simple 'Yes' answer did indeed answer your question as asked.

What was somewhat not clear to me was is it 'on the same page' and adjacent to each other?

IMHO a good reference speed chart consists of an operation description, an rpm range, A letter range(and number range) all on the same line.

It would be asking way too much to include 10E/ER pulley/speed control(s) settings.;) That would be 'nice' but the chart would double in width.:eek:

O.K., I guess I wasn't clear enough in my answer of "Yes it does". Letter speed and RPM is on page two of the chart. It is extremely clear and concise. As I had earlier stated, this chart will prove to come in handy for those who either are not going to convert over to a Power-Pro or are going to do so far into the future, they are not sure when it will happen(I happen to fall into the latter category). Cross-referencing the chart is not a big deal; all it takes is to either flip the chart to p.2 and look on the left side for the corresponding letter/RPM.

As far as 10 ER and Power stand speeds are concerned, maybe someone here on the forum who owns one will be able to come up with such a chart.
