    Shopsmith Shavings and other communications from the company on new accessories, etc. SETTING UP SHOPSMITH - Unpack carefully and check to see that you have all the parts listed above. Do not release any levers or force any parts until you have read the following instructions: Assembly of Shopsmith will be facilitated if you first clean off the rust-resisting compound with which certain parts have been coated for shipment.
  • Page 6: Attaching Headrest

    Hold the tubular ways with the left hand (to prevent falling), loosen the base plate knob, and lower slowly until the ways rest on the bench. Unbolt base plate and remove Shopsmith from the crate.
  • Page 7: Attaching Motor Switch

    ADJUSTING PULLEYS AND BELTS - Attach motor pulley (small pulley closest to motor) on the motor shaft. With Shopsmith in its horizontal position - be sure setscrews on motor bracket rods are tight - align motor pulley with headstock pulley by adjusting motor until the two are in line.

    Ball bearings can be easily injured or ruined by improper handling. The ball bearings used in Shopsmith should not be changed without proper tools. If a bearing needs replacement, return the entire drive sleeve assembly or the spindle and quill assembly, to your dealer who will arrange for factory repair.

    Allen screws on under side. Two table slots allow the miter gauge to be used on either side of the saw blade. The Shopsmith exclusive miter gauge design permits rapid attachment or removal of a miter gauge face extension.
  • Page 10: Tailstock

    This permits the extension and bar to be rotated slightly and aligned with the saw table. TAILSTOCK - When used as a lathe in spindle-turning operations, Shopsmith departs from the conventional by using a fixed tailstock (Fig. 9) and a movable headstock.

    HORIZONTAL DRILL PRESS - In addition to handling work too large or too awkward to be worked on a vertical drill press, Shopsmith, as a horizontal drill press, will do many jobs with greater precision and ease. Jacobs chuck is placed on the spindle and held in place by tightening its setscrew.

    SCRATCH BRUSHING - Steel or brass-wire scratch brushes in various degrees of fineness can be used to produce either a rough- textured or fine satin finish on metals, depending on type of brush and operating speed. Support on a Shopsmith 1/2 inch arbor.

  • Page 29: Appendix 1 - Where To Get Parts Today

    APPENDIX 1 - WHERE TO GET PARTS TODAY In one year from the time I am writing this, the MAGNA Shopsmith 10E introduced in 1947 will be 70 years old. The 10ER came next. While the Magna Engineering Corporation and the subsequent owners and manufacturers of this machine no longer exist, many of the machines themselves survive to this day and are in daily use by those of us who value what this remarkable machine is capable of as we strive to preserve, restore and use them.
