Shopsmith Forums

I would be surprised if Shopsmith did not offer it. They had everything I needed for my Mark V.

I'm a complete novice at resawing. I had great luck (beginner's luck I guess) resawing some poplar with the 1/2 inch blade that came with the bandsaw. Then I put a new Bosch 1/4 inch, 6 TPI blade on the saw to do some curvy stuff, and when I later wanted to resaw some oak, I thought I'd just leave t...

I first tried the 1/8 inch and it wanted to walk off the wheels (I was turning by hand with the cover off BTW). Also, my clip holding the lower wheel bearing assembly was bent exactly as the one ...

Thanks--And cool puzzle!

I'm also new to SS and turning, and one accessory I've been thinking about is a 3-jaw chuck. I saw one on eBay that was pretty cheap; it had a plain flat back that I assume would be screwed to a faceplate.

My new-to-me SS bandsaw came with a big 'ol 1/2-inch blade that is great for turning firewood into turning blanks but not so much for creating curvy pinewood derby designs.
