Band saw for 10E model

Hi,

I bought a second hand 10E model. It came with a bandsaw with missing blade. I called shopsmith and learned my model was using jigsaws, but the one I have looks like a bandsaw. As the blkade was missing, it is hard to figure out what blade I need, and how to install it.

Any advice? Any info I can find for my particular problem?

Thanks,
rodicaro

Do you have a pic to post. Does your equip stand about 3 foot tall? Have two 10 inch rubber tired wheels inside? About how long do you think the blade should be?

Shopsmith made an adapter that allowed the bandsaw to mount to the Model 10 E/ER. It was called the power mount adapter and came in two versions 'A' or 'B'. A special headstock pulley had the drive couple cast into it.

The blade on all the bandsaws that were built for the Shopsmith is 72" long.
