Shopsmith Forums

Tomasic is selling Crown tools with M42 high speed steel which is very similar to Thompsons V10 with his own "grinds" for only slightly more than the same Crown tools from other suppliers such as Woodcraft, Craft Supply, Hartville Tools and The Woodturning Store.

You do not show your location. I am in North Canton, Ohio and have one available. Will not ship.

FWIW I do not own the universal toolrest system but I do a lot of turning. I think it could be useful for turning bowls but not needed for spindles. I saw a video where a guy anchored his Shopsmith and mounted to tailstock to the wall and turned twelve foot long porch columns without the universal ...
