Hopefully the unopened box will have all the parts, but its not always a given! Otherwise, I would have no hesitation with buying an old(ish) machine at 40% of retail.

Would this be an in-person sale, or would you be buying it unseen?
Thanks for the replies and the links. It looks like I've got an original 1/2 hp motor as well. The machine is bolted to a very strong wooden bench which is about 32" high. This week I finally got...
I've got a Shopsmith 10er that I would like to set up as a wood lathe for turning furniture spindles. I'd love to hear from anyone who uses the 10er, specifically what chucks and motor you use.
I called and tried to order the part, but Rikon requires the dust collector serial number for liability purposes. I suppose they did not ask when you ordered yours?

It seems 5" duct and fittings are not very common. Do most people using the HF DC use a 4" or a 5" main line?
So it turns out the HF DC has a 5" intake behind the 4x4 wye adaptor , so it would be a 5" main line rather than a 6".
I already bought the dust collector, but haven't opened the box yet. Looking again at the specs online, it appears it has only a 4" intake with a 4x4 wye adaptor, rather than the more typical 6"...
Hi folks. I'm designing a central dust collection system for my one-car garage shop, using the HF 2HP collector. I'm trying to decide between using one 6" main line with 4" branches, or two 4" main...
