Shopsmith images

Post by Spooner »

Does and anyone know or has anyone seen clipart or images of a shopsmith from the top looking down? Or even dimensions of the 520 table system and its orientation across the saw would be good. I could build that up in cad. I'm putting together a shop layout drawing and I want a symbol for a shopsmith. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

I don't know exactly what you need. Does this come anywhere near what you are looking for.

I'm not sure what you're looking for. Sketchup's "3d Warehouse" has a Mark V Model 500 (complete with belt sander) in a 3D image that can be rotated any way you like. But it's not a photograph - it's an artist's rendition of one.

That's real close Dusty but I need the full (what is it?) 6' length of top? I'm looking for a Top View of the saw. This is my shop layout I'm working on. With my current tools. But I want to see where I could place all the SS tools and see how much space I can save.

I don't have anything that compares to your drawing but I may have Sketchups that will show the amount of space you would have to dedicate. It is not right at my finger tips but I will pull out what I have and post here.

I am a very poor file clerk but I collect everything. I will certainly be able to show you what the footprint is.

While in the planning stages you must consider work space not just footprint. Think "ripping a 12' long board" or cross cutting it into 12" pieces.

I'll take anything ya got Dusty. Thanks for sharing. If anyone wants a DXF of the drawings I'm using just speak up. I'd love to share.

I have a 25' x 30' concrete driveway I can use for the big stuff. Just roll the SS out there and start cutting. Plus I pull the jeep out and that opens things up too.

It appears to be proportionally correct. I measure the overall length to be 61" with the two end tables mounted. The main table measures 17"x22".

And these dimensions are coming from a 510 or 520? I assume the 17"X22" is without the fence rails?
