You already have 1 7/8" bench tubes. You need 1 3/4" tubes(only size currently available from the mother ship). You WILL need shims to ensure the correct c-c spacing. The bench tubes press against a boss in the end castings that is shorter on your castings than the current version.

Jigsaw = 5" (Pinless) IIRC? Pins are easily removed from coping saw blades.

Shaper router cutters are attached to the quill shaft.

I presume you have either a greenie or an early goldie. ONLY the bench tubes need to be replaced and 1/16" shims to provide correct c-c spacing.. Your tubes are 1 7/8 od.

I would say the SS9405 indicates an early SS Inc. product made prior to the switch to date 'serial numbering'.

Note the crinkle paint.

The two version shown above are interchangeable for mark 5/V/7.

Mark VII may require the first one.

Yes, but only the Mark VII is detented.

The issue with the windings is the extremely low dc resistances involved.

The reason I initially asked was because I do not know how one can effectively do so.

Armature, segments? We be referring to induction motors. Windings are very low resistance, and it only takes one short to make the motor unusable.

i do not recall mentioning sand paper use with citrustrip.
