Setscrews Used by Shopsmith

[dusty]

I am trying to compile a list of the set screws used in the Shopsmith equipment.

Following is a list of the various types and sizes that I come up with so far. (PS - These are parts that I have in a kit that I have had ever since I bought the Shopsmith. I believe these parts were provided to me, in a parts kit, at that time. I have not purchased set screws. I am simply trying to find where they are used).

1 5/16”-18x 7/8” serrated

2 5/16”-18x 5/8” half dog
3 5/16”-18x 5/8” flat point
4 5/16”-18x 5/8” serrated
5 5/16”-18x 5/8” cone point

6 5/16”-18x 3/8” half dog
7 5/16”-18x 3/8” flat point
8 5/16”-18x 3/8” serrated
9 5/16”-18x 3/8” cup point

10 5/16”-18x 1/4” flat point


I would appreiate it very much if a couple of you could verify which of these are included in the maintenance kit.

Dusty, My help/maintenance kit came with the following items from your list----(item #7)-- 6-- 5/16-18x 3/8 flat point (item #9)--5--5/16-18x3/8 cup point
and (item #10)--20--5/16-18x1/4 flat point. The kit says it was supposed to have 2 tapered set screws but I did not get them. No size was indicated on the tapered screws.

Thanks, I found the list.

The SS web site list for the help kit does not tell you if the set screws are flat point, cup point, serrated ect.----Dave

Looks like we are going back in time where this same discussion happened back in early 2008.
