I've just used the power pro to do some routing. I used a 3/8 straight bit to make some dados. It worked great.

It is an AMT table saw. I bought one from popular mechanics in 1973 or 74 cost around $34 if I remember right. I added a motor I found from some appliance. I did build the cabinet mentioned and made lots of sawdust. You could buy a larger fence to go with the cabinet. I did. Fence drove me crazy. Yo...

I have an Incra with a router table and a SS 520 with Jointech. I'd buy the jointech first. It is more substantial and better built. The Incra documentation, tapes, project book are better. I use both.

I'd keep both. Use one upright with OPR and keep the shopsmith with jointech. It's difficult with my weak back switching away from saw config with the jointech & the router table.

I've been tring to attach the chisel holder with not much luck. Anyone got a picture that shows how it is attached.

So far I've noticed that you use the footswitch in almost every session. Sugguestion - have Shopsmith offer it as a regular special with the session.

I had no problem viewing the Overarm Router segment. However, I did have problems with the Compound Cuts segment. The session stopped multiple times and reset a couple of times.

Please keep cranking the sawdust sessions out. They are terrific!:)

I just watched the Overhead Router. Looks great. I used it at shopsmith and loved it. I can't wait to see the future uses of it. I did get it after using it at shopsmith. I haven't used it at home yet. So many projects so little time. I couldn't get either the Nitric Acid session or cutting mutliple...

I have a Delta/Rockler with 3 horse motor which i use alot. I have a craftsman talble saw and radial Arm saw that i use to store stuff on. I have a chop saw for quick cutoffs or to quickly approximately size something.

I will frequently have SS and delta in use for different setups for a project.
