Re: Buying a Used Shopsmith Revisited
If anyone is interested I have an original copy of the "Owners Manual" that was shipped with the very first 10Es. It says on the front page that Shopsmith is preparing an "Owner's Guide and Instruction Book" but in the mean time use these pages and that they will send you the complete guide when it is available.everettdavis wrote:You are absolutely correct Steve, the very first model was the 10E and that's what Hans sold first through Montgomery Ward that got them started so many years ago.skou wrote:Just a touch-up.
The "first" commercially available Shopsmith was the
10 E, not the 10 ER. As was mentioned, the ER was a
Revised version. The E model was the first. (Which, since it
wasn't the 10 or 10 A, may have been the 5th or 6th version,
but the first version sold.)

In the revised document I cited the unmodified text of the original document presumed written by Nick Engler in the section titled A Little History. I believe that is the text you reference. I tried very diligently to leave his text as unmodified as possible.
I have attached a Vintage Machinery link to download the Montgomery Wards Operator Manual from that 1947 period submitted by a Dan Boschen, and as I reviewed it I didn't specifically find 10E/10ER references in it, which would make sense for a 10E manual since 10ER didn't yet exist.
Vintage Machinery cites it as a 10E owners guide and it is over 5 MB and too large to download and attach here in the forums I suspect. As a 10E / 10ER Guru I am sure you have had it for years. For those who might be interested in having it you may download it from

Thanks Steve!
I can scan it in and send it to those that would like a copy. It is 17 single sided pages so I suspect it will be too large to upload here.
Actually it is 23 pages.

I have uploaded a copy to Vintagemachinery.org since even the compressed PDF is too large to upload here.

Re: Buying a Used Shopsmith Revisited
FWIW, the "E" had nothing to do with version a,b,c,d, but stood for "Experimental".
Maybe there were 9 preliminary versions.
And the added "R" stood for "revised"(more than once!)

I agree that is the conventional wisdom. However, I know of no publication that states that. It sounds reasonable to me but I doubt if we will ever know if it is true. After all the people who knew, Hans and the Chambers brothers are gone.

Re: Buying a Used Shopsmith Revisited
Links to other posts with full size drawings of other assemblies I have modified and re-oriented were added as requested by others to the original post.
In the future I will keep this post updated with links to posts for new drawings to help keep comments and correction discussions in the posts relevant to the respective drawings.
