Faceplate Turning; Circular Saw - Shopsmith 10-ER Owner's Manual

The tool-rest (Fig. 5) is seated in carriage hole nearest the
operator. A collar on the tool-rest rod is factory adjusted so
that tool-rest is about 1/8" above lathe center line when the
collar is seated on the carriage. This can be adjusted to
meet personal preference. In moving the tool-rest up to the
work, leave a clearance of about 1/8".
CAUTION: Always turn work by hand to see that it clears
the tool-rest before starting motor.
FACEPLATE TURNING - If the work to be turned cannot be held
between lathe centers, it is generally mounted on a faceplate
(Fig. 10) or chuck. Shopsmith faceplates are recommended,
available in 3-3/4" and 6" diameter sizes. The tool-rest is
easily turned parallel to the work. By removing the tailstock
and then moving carriage and headstock to the extreme right
position, the operator can face the work directly.
CIRCULAR SAW - Shopsmith, when used as a saw, is designed
for use with an 8-inch saw blade with 5/8" arbor (Fig. 12).
Smaller blades can be used, but the table slot will not
accommodate larger ones. To attach saw blade, push the
arbor onto the spindle as far as it will go and tighten setscrew
against flat side on spindle.
(NOTE: All attachments used on the spindle should be
located so that their setscrews, when tightened, will seat
against this "flat"; otherwise, the spindle may be burred and
attachments cannot be applied or removed freely.)
CAUTION: The user is cautioned not to make
adjustments while the saw is in motion.
Place blade between washers (recessed side next to blade) large washer first with teeth pointing toward operator standing at
front of table, with pulley or drive to the left hand side. Tighten nut.
Place saw table rods into carriage holes and lower to the point where they can be locked by the carriage knobs. Locate
