Looks very nice. I just replaced the bearings on one of my bandsaws with the Shopsmith kit, but I have quite a bit of noise coming from the upper wheel. Here are my questions if you can help: How did you lubricate these needle bearings? What kind of grease did you use? How did you apply it? How much...

It is not very loud, but can be easily heard even when enclosed in the headstock housing. It does this for me when just turning on the main power switch. It does ...

The universal router table price appears that it might be a full table, but I was wondering if anyone had pictures. I did not get a chance to...

Not wanting to dig up an old post, but I tried to find a relevant topic. I have also had issues with my orders from Shopsmith. I bought a used 520 about a year ago. I have been slowly buying up upgrades and also service parts and extra attachments for my machine. I purchased new the biscuit joiner a...
