Re: Spring Purchase
I use them on my cross cut sled and they work very well. I do wish, however, that they were a bit longer (for my sled).Spooner wrote:Check out these beauties.... Wonder if they'd make a nice sled...

Re: Spring Purchase
I was thinking a 2 1/2" draw would do the trick. I could still see it hanging up on 2 3/8" if it's not seated in the drawer right.JPG wrote:I would be thinking 2 3/8 to allow some clearance.Spooner wrote:Soooo Arbor with Blade we're looking at 2 1/4"? Correct?

A post for the arbor to fit over would eliminate the tendency to rock.Spooner wrote:I was thinking a 2 1/2" draw would do the trick.

Re: Spring Purchase
Does anyone have the SS Shaper Cutters? If so what diameter are they and how high are they? I am gathering dimensions of bits, blades, fences and so on to figure out what size tool cabinet I need. I want do draw them out and see if I can get everything to fit.
Re: Spring Purchase
Also what are the dimensions for the table inserts? the one for the saw blade, dado head, shaper and so on?
Re: Spring Purchase
Lift Assist, Miter set, premium casters... all excellent. If there's one tool I use regularly even with the Powerpro it is the speed reducer - for forstner bits and other work.
I spent a fair amount of time getting the mortising system to work properly and I have to say it's marginal. The length of the tools adds too much play and the table has too much flex to cut through well. I made a special table insert which lets me put a rod underneath all the way to the floor to remove the flex... then it worked pretty well. Not before then...
Shopsmith full set of drill bits is a nice investment too.
