Description
NEW & REVISED -- THIS BOOK INCLUDES ALL OWNER MANUALS YOU WILL NEED TO RESTORE, OPERATE, MAINTAIN AN OLD SHOPSMITH / MAGNA MODEL 10 E/ER WOODWORKING MACHINE. I was national marketing director for Shopsmith from 1978 to 1984 --- I know better than anyone what these tools are all about! Around 300,000 of these power tools were sold to returning servicemen and anyone interested in doing woodworking as a hobby, for profit, or just to take care of their home. Today, these10-E (Experimental) and 10-ER (Experimental Revised) tools are prized possessions of anyone that can find them. Because they were sold between 1947 and around 1957 many of these machines have been relegated to barns, sheds, garages, and basements where power tool lovers find them covered in rust. They eagerly buy them up at auctions, barn, and garage sales. Hence, the reason for this comprehensive Magna Power Tool Book of User Manuals, created from the original product guides, instruction sheets, accessory catalogs, newsletters, which are vital for those seeking to restore, and use the most revolutionary power woodworking tool ever invented. These amazing machines are engineered to operate in both horizontal and vertical positions, using a single motor and table. This is a huge benefit because the exact settings are transferred from one tool set up to another. This accounts for the precision that engineer types feel they can only achieve on single purpose tools. In the first five years on the market, from 1947 to 1952, 600 Montgomery-Ward stores demonstrated and sold about 100,000 units. During that same time Magna decided the most productive and easiest to reach target audience would be the returning servicemen and the American Homeowner wanting to become woodworkers and handymen. The best way to reach this audience was thru direct demonstrations at fairs, hardware stores, power tool dealers, and anyplace else they could draw a crowd. It is estimated another 200,000 units were sold at these venues. This Book Includes -- Owner Guides for both models 10 E (experimental) and 10ER (Experimental Revised). One that came with a machine sold by Montgomery Ward and one that was sold through Magna Engineering. Additionally, you get Owner Guides for the Add On Jointer and Jig Saw.
