Well its too cold to go to the garage and finish the storage support for the shopsmith so I decited to start a project I could do in the house. The project is a upgrade to the miter gauge. The upgrade to the hold down gives a knob to tighten the hold down bar in place but I thought it was too expensive (I guess iam cheap), so I decited to make one using my three d printer. Attached are photos of the finished project. If anyone ie interested I can post the 3d files.

That's Cool! I never saw a "square bolt" before.

Pretty slick

Very clever solution.

Hi Lew

The square bolt is a original part on the shopsmith, I just reused it. And you are right this is the only place I have ever seen one.

Very cool.

That is fricken cool! Way to go Ozzie!

If you wanted you could share your design file in our Files area at https://thepatriotwoodworker.com/files/

For now maybe put it under Shop Jigs category, till I make a category for 3D printing files?

This is very cool! Great share.
