Picked up this rusty boat anchor today. It is missing a lot of the basics-chuck, mitre, arbors.., but it runs and has wheels. The one odd thing about it is the table riser arm (photo 2) Even if I use it for spare parts, it was only $40.00

That is nice, very nice!! You do great work Heath! Perhaps I'll have to do a 49ers version:rolleyes:

Having been the owner of a handful of ERs and Es, I am surprised that Shopsmith even offered a manual for these "Magna" machines. Due to safety issues I was under the impression that nothing is offered for these machines. My hat is off to Shopsmith for even offering them, let alone offerin...

I have only had two kick-backs: #1- Cutting a 12"x12" square against the fence. As I finished the cut, it turned a hair and got caught on the backside of the blade. It spun like a helicopter blade into my chest. #2- Cutting a small piece of cedar against the fence. My blade insert was set ...

I'm back! A lot of great info and I am dying of laughter with a couple of these posts! Hey Gary! I would have painted it like a S.W.A.T. truck if I thought it would have helped:D and Mike- My sides hurt from laughing so hard! You are not very far off though, the only thing you left out was to monito...

Thanks for the answers!!
Guess me and my 9 ton truck just "wing it" from here.
