So far the FB site is pretty much the same.
I know you mean the official Shopsmith FB page, but if I may digress, I recently joined a couple of the Shopsmith owners/users groups over on FB and, good gravy, the advice given there is by and large of very low quality compared to this forum.
Just one example: a guy commented that it is "impossible" to make "miter" cuts (he meant cross-cut a bevel on the end of a board or rip a bevel on the edge of a board) "safely" with the tilted table.
We all know the titled table is an acquired taste (that some never acquire) and that ripping or cross-cutting bevels on a tilted table requires a bit more planning and caution than on a tilting arbor saw; but "impossible" to use safely? My ten fingers, veterans of numerous cuts made with the tilted table, wish to disagree. I tried to offer some suggestions, but it just gets lost in a deluge of mostly bad advice.
Although it isn't as active as it once was, this forum remains a gem!
