    ShopSmith Bearings

    Anyone know how easy/difficult cheap/expensive it would be to replace bearings in a old ShopSmith? I got it from my wife's uncle (not a monkey see Lion King) for free (save gas for transport) and I am wondering should I attempt to fix it or scrap it. It also appears to have come with a scrollsaw attachment.

    Thanks,
    Sawdust King

    If there is one thing I can make perfect every time it is sawdust.

    You should be able to replace those bearings. Shop Smith (made in the USA) is making their tools the same way they started making them--attachments that you buy today will still fit the base unit. I'd check out their website at www.shopsmith.com

    The guys at Shopsmith are great to work with! They are really enthusatic about what they do.

    i'll see if I can't get somebody from Shopsmith to stop in and address your questions directly!

    I'm in the process of reviewing the shopsmith scrollsaw as we speak. I'm working on the blade-feeding issue, but I love the fact that there is NO vibration!

      Carter just came out with a guide kit. Here is their response to me:

      "Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we do have a kit just recently
      designed and not featured on our website yet. It is the kit # SHSM-11."

      Hope that helps. This kit is in addition to the stabilizer they make for the Shopsmith bandsaw.

        I couldn't resist (too long since any new toys) and ordered a blacklight flashlight from Amazon--same price as Harbor Freight. Should be here Tuesday--can't wait to see all the glue spots I've missed.

        If you google "Moradillo" you'll get more information than you'll ever need. It looks like it will work up beautifully.

        The first picture is Wenge, pronounced WHEN-ghay or WHEN-Gii. It is a very hard wood. It’s splintery and very hard to cut. When finished, it is almost black. I use it when I need a black wood for Intarsia. I do not know anything about the other wood.

        I have a new neighbor who did a lot of woodworking in the past but had to give it up because of allergies. He sold his shop equipment and wood stockpile when he moved here, however he kept a few pieces of fancy wood and showed them to me. The first one (First Photo) he had no idea what it was. It is...
