I used to turn on a Shopsmith many years ago and used a Oneway scroll chuck. When I got my Nova 3000 I replaced the adapter for it with one that fits the Nova. The Shopsmith adapter is just sitting in my shop, useless to me, but probably good for someone. Anybody interested? Drop me a line off list if so...

Kevin do you still have your Shopsmith and if you do, Do you use it? Not interested in buying it, I have one of my own ;).
Kevin... I know I'm cheap, but I kept my SS adapter..
Right now, it's on an old motor with a 5/8" shaft.... very common shaft size, it seems... I have a small sanding disk bolted to the 4 chuck mounting holes at the moment but it has been used for many "odd" jigs and things, including an attempt at a shop-made honing wheel..... Mac
No - I sold it several years aog. So much happier with standalone tools. The SS was great when I had more limited space and I had many a fun moment with it, but I also used to hate the tiny tilting table and funky fence. I'm spoiled now...

Hmmm. Maybe I'm just not being creative enough! Sounds like little goes to waste in your shop...

For sure.. what doesn't get used in a project is firewood or garage sale stuff...
On the Oneway adapter for the SS, I saw this nicely machined piece that had the set screw and mounting holes and knew it had to have lots of uses...
Hmm... might be fun to turn some hardwood pulleys or sanding drums for it, too... Mac
