The coolest piece in my opinion is the "speed changer" It mounts between the motor and headstock and acts as a variable diameter pulley like a Vari slow on a drill press. It came with a whole box full of accessories and a manual. The handle for the DP was replaced with a wooden one at some point, shouldn't be hard to fabricate though. Both of the machines came with good motors but were all beat up. ![]() It was not made by Shopsmith but by the Magna Engineering corp. ![]() I recently picked up this shopsmith 10e (e for expirimental) along with a 15 inch planer for 50 bucks! I'm fixing this up completely to put in my dad's garage
