Dusty,
Odds are that you (and I) bought the "everything you need to repair" kit from SS.
All sorts of screws that we would need after we dropped them and lost, on the floor...

Re: Shopsmith Shelix Conversion?
Got the Sheartak cutter head installed in my Pro Planer. Worked with "Mike" at Sheartak... great guy. It dropped right in as 519Wood reported. Initial tests on milling reclaimed maple(?) from rebuilt BB court went smoothly. Machine is much quieter, sheared off material cleanly, little to n...

Re: Bow Xtender Fence
An idea that SS already has....

Problem was price for me.
IF SS would make it an option to compete price wise...it would make sense.
All of my many SS toys would fit/work.

Re: cleaning and preparing tubes for rebuild.
To show you are a real ShopSmith guy, try Nick Engler's solution.

Re: Dragged out a shopsmith
When I ran out of Johnsons, I got the Minwax. Whew... it was a really hard wax to apply.
But, on a hunch and a tip from another on YT, I mixed some with linseed oil.
Perfect... applied well, buffed off easily...and made ALL my jigs, and SS accessories glide.
YMMV..

Re: Dragged out a shopsmith
Here is an off beat YT video with a guy in your position. Bought a COMPLETE ShopSmith and had to figure out ALL of the tools/toys.
Enjoy the video.... and the "puzzle".

Re: Shopsmith Shelix Conversion?
ThistleRock and all,
I'm looking to add a helical cutterhead to my Pro Planer.
Any one made the upgrade and can report results/satisfaction?
I've started a dialog with Shelix but I'd appreciate any other opinions.
BTW... I hate swapping/sharpening planer blades.

Re: Shopsmith's new website is up....
I'm thinking I see another "pattern" here. Guys and gals who love the Swiss Army Knife ...and the other technology which is similar.. i.e. ShopSmith. As a career service guy, I was always intrigued by both, and longed for a ShopSmith while I always carrying a SAK. So after retirement, I bo...
