Here is my talon with Shopsmith adapter.
there are only two holes that it could be
it just seems like you would need three for stability

Lightnin,

The index wheel is under virtually no stress and two bolts keep it aligned with the chuck.

IS RIGHT... nice job
I would like to know just how the wheel is attached?

I admit to not being much of a turner, but I wanted to do a little fancier pen turning and I found that my regular pen mandrel that I was using for the 7mm pens was just not working for me. I wanted to turn just the glue-up between centers. I split a mandrel leaving about 3/4" on each end for i...

What does this do my 1982 Bandsaw has one but I have never seen any instructions for adjusting it. Paul, the nylon bolt takes up the side play in the Guide Column Post.

I took a look at the 'parts explosion' in the manual and I am guess that we are talking about drilling and tapping a...

Ed, I see yours is the old style without the nylon bolt. I checked with SS and they are out of the new brackets so you will have to modify the one you have. I have a couple of saws here in my CO shop that I modified and the one I took a pic of one I used a 1/4x20 bolt about an inch long as I recall....
