I can't thank you enough for this molding head video. I have a ShopSmith molder head and five sets of knives. I did not know about ShopSmith not providing this product and knife sets. Also, a different manufacture was involved now and they use different types of knives.
It’s a lot of nerd-level stuff to know, but it might come in handy one of these days.
Very much enjoyed your demonstrations this weekend. Thank you.
Thanks! It was great to meet you and your son.
Great quick, short video.
Interesting set up and noticed that you had to use the “old school” ShopSmith Toolbox.
Oh yeah, I “had” to use it.
Scott, I have the old style molder head that came with my Mark 7 12+ years ago. What an ingenious design! I also have a Sears Craftsman molder head that came with my 20+ year old used Shopsmith Mark 510. Unfortunately, I have not used either molder head. I guess I have been focused on other projects and don't think of what I can do with these molder heads. I look forward to a future video on using the molder heads. A great video with good information in such a short time frame! Thanks!
Back in the '60s I worked in a tool shop that made cutting tools for industry. One of them was a cutter we sold to Pratt Whitney, Lycoming, Aerojet General etc which they used in the aerospace industry. It looked exactly like that! It had indexable inserts that could be rotated to expose different profiles, and a chip breaker since the carbide blades were used on steel. A trip down memory lane.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Scott, I just watched a 1960 episode of Make Room For Daddy called Danny the Handyman. He had to make a doghouse. In the work area was two Shopsmith machines. Thanks
I saw that one. Not only gonna have two Mark V’s, but he also had a SawSmith radial arm saw! Magna really pulled out all the stops with that episode.
Good tip Thanks!
Good information. Thanks.
Nice!
My thanks, also, Scott!
Son of a gun! Spare cutters I got with mine are Corob. Haven't used them yet, but I better get the right molding head first.
That’s a good idea, Drew.
@@MyGrowthRings they are also pre 2004 before the company was sold and changed its name
Good to see you talking about this, Scott. Enjoyed your presentation(s) at the Celebration of Woodworking. Nice job! Did Shopsmith sell 2 different thicknesses of cutters over the years? I thought that I heard or read that somewhere.
They offered the Corob cutter head for a short time, which takes a slight thicker knife.
Drew, Drew, Drew, well what about JAN! 🤣
Jan?
@@MyGrowthRings You don't remember one of the most famous lines from the Brady Bunch TV show? Marsha, Marsha, Marsha....

Well, bless your heart, Scott. It looks like a good time was had by all that could make it to the event. Thank you for sharing this information. Did they manufacture blades that could do tung and groove?
They did, but you are better off using the shaper for those. I’ve decided that it’s finally time to talk about both the molder and the shaper. More to come.
Has anyone used this? I have one, but never have...
I have. Molding of the style most easily made with this molding head has somewhat fallen out of style at the moment, so we don’t se it called into use all that often, that will change, as trends always cycle back.
I missed it again? Or is this not the owners meeting? I went through all my e mail notifications. Crickets.
Bob, I don’t know why you’re missing this information. I mentioned it in my last video, it’s been shared over on www.MyGrowthRings.com, it’s been on the Shopsmith Facebook group and on the my growth rings Facebook group. From what I understand. They’ve already got a date for the next one, but they haven’t shared it yet.
@@MyGrowthRings it’s most likely due to those brain cells I destroyed as a young person. It’s very hard to fix stupid. Thanks Scott. Will we have a board meeting this month?
@@bobwebberkc That makes sense! Yes, we will meet next Tuesday, May 28. Details will be posted on the website.
@@MyGrowthRings your thoughtful response “makes sense” hurt a little 😂🤣🤷🏻♂️
@@bobwebberkc Sorry about that.
sooo... you're the encyclopieda of shopsmith knowledge... the pin dropped out of the live center, got lost in sawdust...checked shopsmith web site and variety other sources, including scrolling ebay.. ( have spare live center)...is that pin available... thanks...
It used to be available as a spare part from Shopsmith, but I don’t know the status of that these days. I would call customer service and see what they can do for you.
How are the shop smith jointers. I can pick up a very nice well maintained SS for 500 that's coming with a lot of extras like bandsaw planer, disc sander and other accessories.. I know the price is right and I mainly want it for the lathe. But the jointers has me intrigued
I like mine. As a point of reference, I own a 6" Delta that I haven't used in years,
@@MyGrowthRings is the SS 6 as well
@@justinfletcher7630 No, it is 4”
@@justinfletcher7630 No, it's 4". There was a 6" Taiwanese knock-off made in the style of the SS jointer that was 6", but it was too heavy for people to add and remove from the machine, so it faded away. Of course I own two of them, because I have the sickness!

Correct. What did I say?
Dagnabbit! I said it wrong every single time!
