I have 2 shopsmiths. My 84 has the serial # on that plate. My 88 has a sticker, which is located below the plate...Joe

It's been hit/miss for me and I use Chrome. Notice that it says "not secure" in the web/url address bar when the website loads. Maybe that has something to do with it?

I currently have a Mark V and I am thinking about upgrading the table. Looking for input 510 vs 520. Is one better than the other ? Thanks in advance..Joe

I have a shopsmith Power Station and was going to use it as my dedicated sanding station. Curious if anyone else is using their power station for this. Pros/Cons ? Thanks in advance..Joe

They sell a combination blade and individual ripping/cross-cut blades. What is the better recommendation ?Thanks..Joe
