Hi all, I just finished my undermount storage system and thought I would let you guys see it. The backbone is two lengths of angle iron recycled from a metal bed frame and bolted to the support legs. These had the extra benefit of stiffening the Mark V. Underneath these I bolted on a lightweight cab...

I upgraded to a power pro and love it. So much better than the orginal. Soft start, more power, quieter, easier to control. Go for it.

Beleave it or not I just found someone on ebay parting out a jointer and selling the main table for $35 with free shipping. I just purchased it and will see if its rear measurements are satisfactory and if I can mount to my jointer, if not I think I will buy another jointer to solve this issue. I wi...

Reible,

Good tips. I just updated my profile as you recommended.

Good thoughts. I will check all the things you recommend. Also I tried calling Shopsmith today but was on hold for 20 minutes and had to hang up. I will try calling them again tomorrow and see what they have to say. Roger on securely clamping down the trunion if I decide to drill.
