The Shopsmith came in handy this morning for making steaks.

You got my attention too! With all the tables you have on the Shopsmith, I believe you could darn near "seat" 12 for that steak dinner.]

Wow ! What an ingenious way of making "steaks" ... stakes.
So if I understand your set up, you've got extra end tables turn around and then extra floating sections on a long pipe, that also is very ingenious ... did you get this idea or did you see it elsewhere ?
Anyway nice set up.

Thanks Cam! The idea evolved from a handout I received at a travelling academy class about 10 years ago.

I suppose thats the benefit of having a 510 over the 520 - the tubes in front/back are symmetrical and therefore you can use the fence regardless of the orientation of the floating table..right?
