So you get a Shopsmith and it is new to you. This versatile machine will do or help you do many things in woodworking. Some folks think that this machine is only a lathe, but it is so much more. This is dedicated to the Mark V (500 series - 500, 505, 510, 520 including the Power Pro). You should inventory to see if you have the following parts. In the lower left is the powerhead with the quill showing. On the masonite board are the tool rest, live center, dead center, box with faceplate, adjustment insert, and tail stock. Of course the mighty and almost universal allen wrench is with the red handle. It is 5/32". These tubes go into the end of the way tubes or the end holder for the way tubes. These collars can be loosened to allow for height adjustment. There will be another picture to show how to the 2 spurs align. Before we do that we need to make one other adjustment. This is the adjustment for the live center holder. Since I know where mine goes, it takes about 10 seconds to set and tighten the set screw. Once you get this set, you will rarely every have to set it again. At this point, you can't be sure that it is set correctly so just enough force to hold it in place. Time to set up the tailstock.
