Shopsmith Forums

I have inherited a Shopsmith Model 620 and need help in selecting a price to sell this to a friend of mine. I honestly do not have a clue what I have and he has no clue how much it is worth. Does anyone out there have a clue? I do know that this Shopsmith is extremely old and came from a greatgrandfather. Any help would be great. Thank you.

I do believe that you have probably made a typo. There is no Model 620! Maybe a Model 520.

If it is a 520, your Great Grandfather must have been fairly active in his woodshop. The 520 is a relatively new machine and has many of the latest developments. Assuming it has been properly cared for, you should expect to get a good price for it.

I suggest that you call Shopsmith (1-800-543-7586) and talk to customer service. They will be able to give you a current price on a NEW machine. Do ask about the going price of a used machine. The accessories that you have for the machine might be worth more than the machine itself. You have a bit of homework to do in order to be sure.

Browse around this website. Click on the sawblade and then let your fingers do the walking. Good Luck.

ps The part of the country that you are in has a great impact on what you can sell your equipment for. Supply and Demand.

Perhaps this site will help you figure out what it is:
