Shopsmith Forums

Sure would be nice if SS had an Amazon store with at least parts. I understand the weight of headstocks etc can be an issue with the Amazon systems. On Amazon.ca it shows the duty etc.

Very nice and specific to your tools. Always wanted to make one but the weight of the tools plus the wood weight, I worry about it being too heavy. I use a systainer now.

Thanks Russ. I currently don’t have a shopsmith. I used to have one that I did all the upgrades to except the double tilt..

Don't want to start a rumor, But I think the Canadian company will be https://stockroomsupply.com. As they were mentioned in the video. With the exchange rate an mark7 would be like $7500CND. I think they could do well selling parts to the canadian market.
