Shopsmith Forums

I purchased mine used like others have. I did this back in 1988. My ShopSmith is still going strong. There are plenty of used machines and parts available at a lot less expensive cost. Look on eBay and Craiglist and there is plenty of machines to purchase.

I bought a set of these wheels and they work great! Can't beat the price at $1.50 each

Hey Guys, I just wanted to thank you for posting this solution for replacing the caster wheels with the Grizzly solution. It is a excellent, less expensive solution coupled with a quick fix. Less than 30 mintues. I really appreciate you sharing this fix. The wheels work great... their quiet and roll...

I use a 80T carbide blade that I purchased at Harbor Freight. I think i paid $14 for it when it was on sale. It works great and it was very inexpensive as compared to the big name blades. I figure when it becomes dull I'll just buy a new one from Harbor Freight. Works great!
