Hi all,
My girlfriends dad had a Shopsmith 10ER sitting in his barn for the past 40 years or so and he gave it to me for Christmas! I have spend a long time getting it running and rehabbing it, and it is back in fighting shape.
I am new to wood turning and would like to try it. It is missing most of the lathe pieces (no chucks or mounts). I have already bought the tool rest on eBay.
Could any of you fill me in on what pieces would be needed to start some wood turning. I want to make sure I have pieces that fit this particular lathe.
Thank you in advance. I am happy to follow up with anything else if it can help, I wasn't sure what all to add since I'm not even sure what all is missing.

Re: Missing Lathe Parts
Based on what you said you have, you will need the drive center which you drive into the wood (off the machine) and a center for the tailstock.
Also you may wish to have a faceplate for faceplate turning for bowls.
There is a set on eBay for $35 at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Shopsmith-Shop- ... Sw9GhYmgcN
Download the free manual I restored from my Google Drive listed in the post below. It has detail, and clear illustrations.
You will find the link in this post http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/viewt ... 90#p185690
I attached a photo of the machine set up turning a spindle....
If you have the variable speed accessory, you will really be in better position to turn at slower speeds.

Re: Missing Lathe Parts
"Tell us what you think". Hmmm, One is a rip off and the other is priced just about right. Do you think they would like that???
