Re: Speed gage doesn't rotate when turning handle
Make sure the motor is running before turning the speed dial. Doing so could cause damage.

Re: nova chuck2
Eccentric turning is off center turning. The shopsmith has that ability. The tail stock is adjustable for off center turning.

Re: Bandsaw - new blade won't stay on
Several years ago I had a blade that would not stay on. Put several blades on the bandsaw since with no problems. Check with Shopsmith About a blade replacement.

Re: quill shaft
My Shopsmith had a single bearing quill and would skip or bounce at the outer end of the bowl. Replaced the quill with a double bearing quill. That solved the problem. If you know someone with a double bearing quill try out on your SM.

Re: Oneway Revolving Live Center anyone have one?

I have had the segmenent turning for several years and find it very helpful. It is true that width of some rings may need adjusting. The program graphics will show which ones to adjust.

The above advise has been very good. I rebuilded a shopsmith a couble years ago that had a single bearing quill. It had a lot of wobble when turning that made it difficult to get a smooth bowl. I purchase the two bearing quill from shopsmith and it made a huge difference and I recommend that you con...
