So we're Shopsmith fanatics around the shop and the other day we picked up a 60 dollar Shopsmith off Craiglist. The Shopsmith is an amazing tool for horizontal boring and its a great drill press too but going back and forth gets old. 'Specially when your working on a dozen guitars and I forgot to bore something after you stood it up. So we did this:  Took both apart
 Made an 1.5" thick ply core set of end caps for the rails
 Bam! One fixed in the boring position and one fixed as a drill press!
Nice thing is there is nothing permanent here so we could easily go back to 2 separate machines. When we get a little free time we'll go through and restore the "new" one. |
