Thanks JPG,
I'll try to order the pins later in the day and try to add it an order I made earlier this evening. Wish me luck!

Re: Flush trimming to a pattern.
Hi Paul, Thanks for your reply. I'd say I'd probably be working with soft maple a lot. I might get into some red oak, but only occasionally. I'll just have to get into the shaping business and try a few things to see how they work. What you said about the SS doing a superior job with the shaper cutt...

Flush trimming to a pattern.
I'm fairly new to SS and this forum, but I'm starting to have a lot of fun using my 1956 Geenie. In the past, before SS, I've always used a handheld router with a flush trim, bearing equipped bit to trim a wood item to a specific pattern. I currently don't have a router table, but I do have a lot of...

Re: Newowner Informaton
Thanks for the info JPG. I did put in new belts and lubed it about three summers ago when I got the old 500 so I figure it might be due for some oil. It hasn't gotten heavy use so I think I'm OK. At least now I know how it's done.

Re: My latest project
Beautiful work! How many and what species of wood are in there?

Re: Newowner Informaton
I' sure this has been covered somewhere before, but what is the best way to get at the sheaves to lube them? On my 1956 greenie I have a small observation port ( at least that's what I think it is) that could possibly be used for access with a long necked oil can or similar. As far as I can see the ...

Re: Edge Banding
Charles's, Thanks for the video on the edge banding set up. That's the slickest and simplest I've seen so far. I get the horizontal boring arrangement with the SS. I'd just have to raise or lower the table to adjust for the plywood thickness. Great idea. I think I,ll order the router chuck. It could...

Re: Edge Banding
Thanks for the help. I like the tape idea and I should have taken care of the banding before starting any assembly. That alone makes life easier.

Edge Banding
I'm building a medicine cabinet out of birch veneer ply with 1/4" thick solid birch banded edges. I made the banding slightly oversize as far as width goes. I can hand plane and sand the outside even as this won't be seen when finished. The inside is a lot more tedious for fear of cutting throu...

Re: Newowner Informaton
Thanks for the quick reply. I actually can accomplish most of what I set out to do with my old 500. It may be good advice to take your lead and get the most out of what I have and fine tunning it for maximum performance. I feel that I'm just beginning to know my way around a Shop Smith. As I mention...
