hey Brigitte, I don't own a Shopsmith bandsaw but will say my PM1800 has bearings and would never go back to a bandsaw with out either having them or adding them. In my opinion, I would highly recommend them to you if they are adaptable to the shopsmith. You can't go wrong. Your blades will run

Re: Shopsmith question

I have a Shopsmith bandsaw with the original blocks. They get the job done, but the bearings on my big bandsaw do seem to work better on the wide blades. Bearings are not so good for very narrow blades like 3/16" and under. I've never tried this, but a rubber sleeve over each bearing (think

Good morning Brigitte, I don't have the shopsmith Band saw but do run roller guides on my PW1800. They in my eyes are far superior to guide blocks, You have to keep them close and set back from the actual teeth just like the cooling blocks. I believe the blade runs truer and cooler with the

Re: Re Shopsmith

Another way would be to put a boat winch on the back bottom rails, put a pulley on the very top and then strap the the motor/headstock.  The cable winch could lift as well as lower.  Truthfully, I like the jack.  Use a socket and drill to lift and lower.  It's light enough to pull it out of

Re: Re Shopsmith

Hey Brigitte, Unfortunately we all do what you just suggested if we need to move the head stock up when you have the shopsmith in the vertical position, I grasp the bar below the head stock loosen the large wing nut and move it up. For sure not the best method to adjust it. So you are much better

Re Shopsmith

Hi Guys, Slightly off topic I am looking to renew/replace the bearing and blade guide units on my SS. The reason is because the bandsaw screams at me, no matter what/how I am cutting. Many years ago it went back to SS (in UK) and they couldn't stop the the racket, so I put up with it. Also, in
