Shalom, Marc

That handle in the second pic looks more like the handle for the jointer. Also it looks like your missing the hub for the handle and ya need two more wedges for the jointer knives.

Here is a picture of the handle with sleeve (top), the "hub" that is in the sleeve (middle), the wing nut (bottom left) and a hub (bottom right) that fits nicely on the headstock shaft:

The top handle does not fit on the bottom right hub. If I am not mistaken the bottom right part IS the quill hub and a quill handle should fit into the threaded hole? What I need is the correct quill handle that will match the threads in the quill hub? A link to a handle that I could purchase would be great.

Shalom, Marc

The 'bottom right part' is a rear main shaft hub. It attaches to the upper shaft on the rear of the headstock. It is secured to the shaft flat with a flat bottom set screw. That hub is used for spt's other that the jointer which is driven by the lower(idler) shaft as a higher rpm.

The coupler only has a spring in the driving end. The accessory end is not supposed to have a spring. The spring forces the coupler off the driving hub in the event the headstock slides away from the spt(the result of forgetting to secure the headstock).

Both ends of the quillfeed shaft have three indentations and the long red handle screws into any of the three positions. PM me with yer snail mail address and I will send you a handle of your vintage.

Poor choice of color(yellow) but hopefully this is enlightening.

I believe the other parts belong to something else.

Wow!! Better response that I could ever have expected. Yes, some of the parts are not for the Shopsmith. I just emptied out the box that came with the Shopsmith and shot a picture of it. One is a grommet from a tarp (still has pieces of blue tarp attached), a nail, a seal from the lid of some fluid, and an auto trim screw. That's my take on it anyway. Hopefully some day I will understand this piece of equipment enough to return the favor to someone in need. THANKS!!

What does SPT and SDPT stand for?

SPT = Special Purpose Tool. Such as band saw, jointer, jig saw, scroll saw, belt sander, etc.

SPDT = SPT mis-spelled!

Handle will be on its way hopefully tomorrow!

Hey Marc, that looks like either a Parabellum fairing or A "RIFLE"
Which is it?

I really like that. I miss my time on a bike. I would have one but I no longer trust my reflexes or my legs both of which have deteriorated rapidly the last few years.
