My two cents worth Every time I look at Craigslist there seems to be a couple of Shopsmiths for sale for a few hundred bucks. I understand they haven't changed much since the 60s, and are well made m

Thanks Dave, I did a little research and the model he has doesn't have parts available any more (only Mk V's). I didn't want to buy something that I couldn't get the parts for, regardless if it was a

Hi Tony, that was exactly what this one was, and why I passed. I did a little research and saw these lack the ability to add safety parts as well. Thanks for all the input from everyone. Patton -- Se

I've never used a Shopsmith, but my general experience is that multi-purpose machines rarely do anything as well as a single purpose machine. They never seem to be set up for the thing you want to do

I have never used one either, and I've always heard the same thing. But I think the comparison changes when instead of multi-purpose vs single purpose you consider multi-purpose vs nothing. If you do

There was basically only one model of ShopSmith, the changes they made over the years (decades) were mostly cosmetic. Its a OK tool, I never was able to go from lathe/drill/etc. to table saw without

Haven't used one in decades, but the quality is generally good, better than many entry level tools but not as good as decent dedicated machines. However, they are a pain to change function. I've been

FWIW, one of the Village Press magazines ran a multi-part article on "improving" the Shopsmith a few years back. If you do decide to get it, you might want to find that article. As I recall, it had q

Ok, that is true there was one model (2 by your definition) prior to the Mark V and I assume there was a Mark I, II, III, IV before the V but I can't tell the difference between them if there even wa

Has anyone looked at this thing lately? Hopefully it has always been in a nice dry place. That's a lot of years to sit idle. Hopefully it hasn't turned into a solid block of rust. -Steve ____________
