Shopsmith Forums

Slow news day. Well here in central Minnesota have been digging out from twelve inches of the white stuff. Finally dug a path to \the shop this afternoon...... Not to bad a storm here but, the wind has to always come up and blow that beatiful white stuff around.......Nothing compared to the east co...

[quote="JPG40504"]A 'cover' of thin plywood/mdf/whatever will protect that nice aluminum table. Put a 'rim' around it and it will 'self register' to the table and stay put. Just be sure to not drill 'through' it.] Ahh, I think that you just solved my drill-press dilemma. The guys at work m...

'Somebody' did an excellent job cutting those angle iron pieces! Gotta ask, what you used to cut them with. I am guessing a metal cutting band saw(and drill press). My 520 did the drill-press duty, although I did cringe at those steel chips trying to scratch up my nice aluminum table. As for the me...

Great solutions. I find most improvements can be generated by using our senses to analyze any Shopsmith problem. Seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling will allow us to get closer to determining what is the problem and how to solve the problem. I always like to determine why the problem occurred. Th...

While looking for a Craigslist deal on a bandsaw last spring, I found a clean one (cast-iron table) AND a Power Station for $150 total, miter gauge included.

Brilliantly simple = simply brilliant! I had exactly the same problem, and thought that my straightedge was to blame. Next time, no problem.

I can't wait to see the finished butterfly box. It should be way cool. On the other hand, I really hope that my teenage daughters do NOT see it, cuz I have way to many projects queued up anyway!

If complaining to eBay doesn't work, I have an extra cover that would cost you only shipping charges. Or less, if you happen to live in Central Ohio. It's in good shape except for a few spots of overspray from the previous owner, and a surface finish blemish on the INSIDE of the cover. That blemish ...

Folks: I am honored that I have (rather rapidly) achieved the rank of "gold member". Or is that "Goldmember", with a wink to you Austin Powers fans? Which raises at least two questions: 1) What exactly did I do to earn this honor? My feeble contributions are in no way even remote...

Hello, another Buckeye fan here! Although I currently live in Arizona now, my heart (and sports loyalty) remains with Ohio State. Their football team were screwed this past year by the idiots of the NCAA. Having an undefeated season was great! And not being able to play for the national championshi...
