Re: Wax tip.
Has anyone tried "Jubilee" on a Shopsmith?? I haven't, yet. I am ready to run out of JPW, so I will be shopping for a new can soon (the can I have now came from Home Depot - still available??). Anyway, Jubilee was an SC Johnson product from wayback when housewives actually polished refrige...

Re: Is the Smart Motor Speed Dial Ring, Back-Up Spring, part# 504196
504196 Item 73 Spring, function is an anti-vibration device, supposed to put a drag on the speed dial to keep speed from drifting during operation. I would classify it as a sort-of safety component but in fact the (headstock) will run without it. I have not tried to run the (headstock) without one. ...

Re: Shopsmith at Workbench Con 2024
I don't like that new "corporate slogan" at all. I really don't.
Resorting to profanity to get attention belongs in a locker room not on a tee shirt. Shows quite a lack of imagination.
What sort of corporate decisions can we next expect?

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
Even more off-topic, but some additional informed input. I hold two U.S. utility patents, both essentially worthless, and I wrote them myself, with no lawyer-help and thus cheaply. They were each approved by the Office with no objections. People, and especially inventors, have very wrong ideas about...

Re: Repairing Quill Spring
So now I notice that lewparsell said "This is a new 2020 machine from ShopSmith" and thus those 2 washers came from the factory, and no prior owner. But sure enough the PP parts list says item 53 and not those 2 washers he has. Mystery continues. I guess we can't blame this one on prior ow...

Re: Repairing Quill Spring
1 of those 2 non-stock washers shown in one of the pictures looks like a Belleville. Maybe prior owner tried to substitute it for item 53 spherical (domed) washer. Item 53 works something like a Belleville but is shaped differently and not "conical" like a real Belleville. Bellevilles are ...

Re: Making a Lie-Nielsen Plane From Start to Finish
Interesting video, and company. Thanks for posting. Good to see American manufacturing happening, and I assume, profitably. So if this company and others in America can profitably make high-end hand woodwork tools, what does this say about the population and budget of American home-based woodworkers...

Re: 3D printed axial cyclone for dust separation
On my recent project to mount a cyclone onto an upright push vacuum, I "just assumed" that the cyclone had to be mounted vertical because otherwise gravity would pull the vortex off-center and screw up the flow. Guess I'm wrong again. But try running a topload washing machine sideways and ...

Re: Speed dial handle
Here you go. Lathe project. Press-fit onto the current dial (the red part). DIAL KNOB 1.JPG Make it out of clear acrylic to minimize hiding the speed letters. I do agree with the others that more leverage on the dial is not the best thing - unless the dial itself is beefed up with a pressed-in steel...

Re: 3D printed axial cyclone for dust separation
I do my work outdoors, but I have no doubt that a "really good" dust collection system is a must for anyone doing power woodwork within a residence, for reasons of housekeeping, health, and domestic tranquility as well. Seems like most of the problem is getting that last 1 percent. I guess...
