Shopsmith Forums

I entirely agree with Pet Peeve's post about any lack of responsiveness from $$. Replying to the replying poster (Dusty), I usually receive a reply email from my Dr. within a few hours. However, we are both old school,and adapted to new technology with holding to the concept of professional,personal...

The last Admin post is almost 4 yrs old? What is going on at SS?

Sorry for you "rollers" indoor bike accident. But what has your post to do with ShopSmith?

At least 5 times, after being on hold listening to "We are experiencing high call volumes." I was told numerous times that my "belt sander parts would ship by the end of the week." My parts were FINALLY shipped yesterday(3/27/18) according to their website,after a final terse con...
