Whew! For a moment there, I thought I was missing something … like maybe a few marbles? Shhh…. Don’t ask my wife, she’s likely to say “yeah a few marbles as well as a few loose screws… “ Great videos are worth rewatching! :)
Great Video. I have some fantastic sisters that I think the world of. I don’t recall you video on using the jigsaw as a file. I’ll have to look for it.
The speed reducers (or increasers for that matter) are specifically recommended against use with the powerPro (and may argue why needed) headstock, but talking about constructing your own begs the question if such a reducer is safe for powerpro? For turning in particular i would say there are times even an rpm of 25 could be preferred to 250.
There’s no issue with using a speed reducer with a PowerPro headstock, but the PowerPro would destroy the speed Increaser, and with the 10,000 rpm top speed of the PowerPro you aren’t gaining anything using the speed Increaser.
@@MyGrowthRings thanks Scott! I can see it could be helpful to reduce the speed even on the power pro by any number factors from 1:2 to 1:10. I love the DIY gear based reducer you demonstrated in the past but I’ve also considered a DIY planetary gear based reducer just because I like machines too much and waste time with unnecessarily complicated mechanical wizardry!!!

That’s a good question, and there’s several ways of looking at it. The easiest way to deal with it is just don’t promote it as having a tablesaw function. That would eliminate the need to include a sawblade and arbor, and an insert, which would lower the price of the machine. If someone wanted to buy those parts on the aftermarket or used market, Then they’re on their own. Shopsmith tested years ago stopping the machine abruptly, and it just about made the machine fall over. So incorporating that technology is a bad idea.
I’m not sure why this video is showing up as being newly posted. It’s at least two years old.
Haha I thought you suddenly looked younger for some reason lol
Funny
I thought you put it up for my birthday!! Love ya, Bro!!
@@lisakennedy1599 That was just a fortunate coincidence, Sis!

Hi Lysol! 🎉
Great Video. I have some fantastic sisters that I think the world of.

It’s out there somewhere.
Found it: ua-cam.com/video/AUES_h4znGw/v-deo.htmlsi=vhNFM_Ei0mzB-cF5
I grew up in a jewelers supply house. Look for needle files from places like Eurotool, Contenti, Thunderbird, and others.
Well, bless your heart, Scott. That is an oldie, but goodie. I hope to get SS jigsaw someday. I had one with my 10ER, and I miss it.
That 10er jigsaw took an interesting approach. I'm glad that Magna reconsidered the tool design so that it could be stand-mounted too.
My god, Scott got younger!
At least that was my first impression at the start of the video.
Need some of your healthy lifestyle.
Ha! I wish I modeled a healthy lifestyle, but I sit in car to many conference rooms eating junk food.

You get under table drive without the double tilt with the speed increaser.
@@jtome12 I’m not sure so understand that comment.

I hope you find a place inspite of the current insanity in the housing market.

What happened to the big new workshop you were working on?
Check out the pinned comment.
@@MyGrowthRingsare you familiar with the BOW XT Xtender fence? Would it work with the Shopsmith fence?
@@rossflowers540 I am familiar and I would assume so. It’s very similar to something I’ve made myself and shown in a few videos.
@@MyGrowthRings Do you recall which ones?
@@rossflowers540 This is one of them: ua-cam.com/video/1uzgMJ7wHgw/v-deo.htmlsi=KEwaXJpvCkEk077Y
How would the proposed federal law for blade stopping technology impact the ShopSmith?

OK is this April fools? You haven't been in her basement for a good bit.....
It’s been a couple years. I have no idea why this suddenly popped-up.
@MyGrowthRings ...and I feel slightly guilty 🫣 for watching an older Stumped Q&A without being a subscriber. Someday that'll change.
