Hi Bill, I just bought a very-used Shopsmith a couple days ago with limited abiility to test it. The motor seems to work fine, but the speed control does not seem to work as smoothly or effectively as I've seen on a few videos. For one thing, I have to grab the entire wheel to get it to move at all -- it won't turn with just the little handle. Secondly, the speed decreases only slightly and every revolution of the handle, it bumps back up in speed. I'm guessing that I need more than the kit you're describing here. Will a speed control assembly resolve my issue?
