Thanks Ron, appreciated.

Anyone able to assist with model/size identification? The bottom two planes are likely both Stanley, both made in Canada. One does not say Stanley, may or may not be genuine although they do look like a matched set. Larger is roughly 14” long Shorter is just slightly over 9” long Cant locate model/s...

Really appreciate the thoughts JPG, I wasn’t considering the main carriage and no doubt that will make a huge difference on the optimum shorty length, if there is such a thing. Still early, I’m likely to think about this for a while before ever making a tube shorter. I did pick up the second SS toda...

I may be sleeping in the garage... :D Hypothetically speaking, lets assume I bartered my way into a second MarkV and am picking it up tomorrow in a snow storm. I'm not keen on having two full length machines. If I was to convert one to a shorty, assuming that is a logical decision, is there any cons...

I use Subsilver2, but I think the other styles should have similar similar options, the icons will be different and the names in the navigation bar may be different too. What skin are you using? I am not using a skin, just the default Shopsmith one. I tried the New Posts link on it. It works, but i...

Well I did it again(overlooked posts on a 'following page')! :o . Yeah, it is easy to do. I wish there was an easy way to see all new posts for the day or something like that This link works well for me... New posts If you then click the little orange folder itself, it will take you directly to the...

Perfect thanks. I had noticed a few differences in earlier/later 510 tables.
