Re: Mark V maximum idler bearing RPM
mharmon, Welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. The serial number 205447 should have a prefix of SS and this Mark V was then made in May of 1985. To replace the bearing only you would first have to find the correct bearing, press the old one off the shaft and press the new one on. The Idler Shaft with the ...

Re: Speed Changer Shaft & Oilite Bushing Condition
If it was mine (and has been on at least one of my restorations) I would smooth down any raised ridges on the shaft to lessen wear on the new bearings. In use make sure the brass bearings are properly lubricated at all times to prevent additional damage. The replacement Speed Changer Oilite Bearings...

Re: Mark 7 120 v 240
ArtTrek, Welcome fellow Oregonian to the Shopsmith Forum. I run my Power Pro Headstock V1 on 120. I haven't tried it on a 240 circuit yet. I was going to make an adapter so, like David, I could run it either way. I haven't gotten around to making the adapter plus the shop at my new home has limited ...

Re: 10ER Speed Changer Retaining Ring Source
The Retaining Ring has to seat into the groove, but I can rotate it with a tool pushing it. The remaining ring you have should work until you can replace it if it still seats into the groove. As you continue to restore your Speed Changer there are a couple things to pay attention to. The three locki...

Re: How fast could you safely spin a 10ER?
I have not done any testing on high speeds, but the limiting factor would be the bearings.

Re: need help, what is thI s
Mike made a wonderful listing of set screws and related information for the Shopsmith tools. Keep in mind that from the introduction of the Mark 5 in 1954 followed by the various SPT's, the type of set screws used in different locations have changed over the years. Some locations have a specific nee...

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
This is near Portland Oregon. It is for sale by Forum Member Thom Schuck and not only has his Mark V 500 but several STP's and accessories. It is all in excellent condition.

Re: Denver Tryout? Universal Tool Rest for Lathe
Hudson, I don't know if there has been anyone in Denver that has sent you a PM yet but, in the meantime, you could try adding some extra weight to your Shopsmith to see if the 35 pounds of weight of the Universal Lathe Tool Rest would benefit you in reducing the vibration problem you are having. I c...

Re: 10ER motor spins both ways
don1357, I really don't have an answer as to why that is happening and not a problem I have experienced. I have replaced the power cords going to many motors used on Model 10E and 10ER Shopsmith tools I have restored. Mostly doing it to replace cracked insulation and dangerous cords. A plus is givin...
