Adding the access hole behind the logo plate on the back side of the Headstock can be done by marking the hole diameter and drilling holes around the diameter leaving a spot for the logo covers pins as seen below on the "B" Headstock in the picture. This is the same spot that the pins of t...

OlympicFail, I hope I haven't discouraged you about your Shopsmith purchase. Some of yesterday's comments I made are for future readers of this topic to help them better understand what to look for when considering buying a Shopsmith Mark 5/V. The link below is to a PDF from Shopsmith titled Buying ...

Serial number 288846 was made in January 1955. It is an "A" Headstock which, unless modified, doesn't have the removable rear logo plate to access the Idler Shaft Sheeve and back of the Speed Control Assembly for lubrication. It's the main downside of the "A" Headstock itself. Un...

Ed, David and HopefulSSer, The 2006 Model 505 I bought a few years ago did have the locks installed on the Main and Extension Tables even though it had no Floating Tables and related parts. Simply ready to go for that 510 upgrade. :D John, Not a bargain but an interesting display model at 15" W...

As David said, it isn't a Mark 7, and you can't really tell what you're getting from the pictures. But at least a 505 with PowerPro, Belt Sander, and Jointer and all looks to be in good condition. The value of it is hyped up especially since it isn't a Mark 7, but a Power Pro upgraded Mark V 505 as ...

Kevin, Like JPG I'm not sure what you are referring to as a center dial indicator for your Model 10ER. Are you referring to the angled center hubs that set the width of cut on the Wobble Dado Blade? As for the Dado Blades there were two types made back in the Model 10era. The 8" Wobble Dado Bla...

I also agree it would be nice to have a PDF copy of the last chart. I have not seen that one before which appears to have come out after the Model 10ER was discontinued. Note it says Magna Power Tool Corporation not Magna Engineering Corporation. Below is a PDF replica of the Speed Chart DarrenDD po...

That is Skip's chart and one confusing part of it is checking column 3 labeled Prefix . Those are the prefix letter(s) that preceded some of the serial numbers. As JPG said the information was provided by the owners of each of those Model 10E and 10ER Shopsmith's. I have seen inaccuracies in the inf...
