Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!

<snip> My opinion is that much has been perceived that this will eliminate injury by inadvertent contact with a circular saw blade rotating at greater than 3000 rpm.

Re: ShopSmith Future Direction

Re: 510/520 Accessory shelf

I blew the pix up and tweaked it. I now 'see' the edge of the wrench. What goes in the smaller slot to the left? Clearance for the quick lock handle on the tool rest? NOPE!!!! This earlier discussion shows another wrench in the smaller slot. https://forum.shopsmith.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=378&a...
