Shopsmith Forums

How about we have some fun with this, by way of a bragging rights pool. We do this by taking a guess at what shopsmith is going to price the new tool at. Of couse members of shopsmith are not allowed to play. And as a second part what would be the price point that would get you to buy it in say 6 mo...

Hi, I guess I missed the bit about it becoming a shopsmith "tool". I've seen a LOT of posts at other sites about this but so far you have posted the only one here. I liked the idea and loved the demo video I saw but when the subject got to price......... ahhhhh I think it was like $700. Th...

At this point from all that I have read here I can almost for sure say that there are only two things that can be the problem. 1) The chisel is not as sharp as it needs to be, so rehoning might help. 2) The wood is very very hard and the cure is to drill relief holes first, or select another method ...

Hi Charles, With me woodworking is always a lot of options. When I do this project I might do it this way and another project I might use a whole different approach and different tools. Certainly some projects lend themselves to one way or another. Since I have had and used this extension before wit...

Hello again, When I went adapting Nicks design by using the old 510 fence it was still missing the scales... well no more. I'm not going to cover the process or post any pictures as I think if you look at the other post I did on the 20" Aluminum Miter Gauge Extension at: http://www.shopsmith.ne...
