Anyone know where I can find parts for a Totalshop Woodworking machine?

Anyone know where I can find parts for a Totalshop Woodworking machine?


If it is the Totalshop I am familiar with, a lot of parts are compatable with
Shopsmith. Try www.shopsmith.com

TotalShop has been out of business for awhile. Parts are hard to find. A
guy in Orange, California was selling off TotalShop's inventory after it
went under. He was selling the main 5-in-1 unit for about $800 (new in
box). I don't know if he had parts. "JJ Liquidators," I think; The number
was (714) 516-1091. I never did business with him, and have no idea if
he's still around.

Sometimes a Shopsmith part will work. Sometimes not, and sometimes sort
of. On one occasion, I was able to make a Shopsmith part work by
machining something to make it fit. I bought a whole sheave assembly. It
came with the shaft and bearings. I think it cost in the neighborhood of
$140. If I recall correctly (this was a few years ago), I just had to
make a replacement eccentric bushing for the bearings, which had a
smaller OD than the TotalShop bearings.

Good Luck,

Jim

I think they closed the doors many years ago...but a lot of their
machines are clones of other machines...my TotalShop 15" planer is
identical (AFAICT) to the Delta 15" planer of the era.

Maybe if you said exactly what machine you have, somebody could
help identify the design...
