Re: Texas Booty
OK, first way tube is done and waxed:
Before:
Farmer engineering:
Finish:
I had to take about 3 to 4 thousands off (according to the digital calipers), so I should be good to go. Do the other one tomorrow (maybe, have possible snow coming in )

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.

Woot, a treasure trove of tools.
That set up did a great job on the way tubes.
When I did mine I used the tie bar,(the cast iron and a bit of oil made a good bearing), clamped in a Zyliss vise at one end of the bench, and an electric drill and expansion plug at the other.
However I didn't have a working Shopsmith at the time.

Re: Texas Booty
I hear you, this is the second time I have used this rig on the Mark 7. I run it at the 250 RPM speed which helps. It has worked perfectly again so far. I may have to make a "muzzle" on the free end to give the quill something to push against (had to do that the last time), but so far my "plug" is working like I knew what i was doing ....rpd wrote:Woot, a treasure trove of tools.

Re: Texas Booty
How do you get it down to 250rpm, a speed reducer? I was doing mine on a greenie at bottom rpm 700ish, and sweating my front teeth.

History comes full circle. A Mark 7 being used to (re)make an 10ER.

Steve, living in Mesa I'm sure you've been to the enormous flea market. It could be fun to have a Shopsmith booth there.skou wrote:Oh, the price for my feet just went up. steve
Re: Texas Booty
Dick, We hope you have a chance to post the pictures of the way tube...
Can't wait to see the difference!

They're STILL using Model 10s to make the Mark 7, from what I've heard.

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.
Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.
