RFGuy. Sorry to see you go. I have always valued you opinion on this forum. I will miss your content. My previous jointer was a small bench top jointer by Delta. I think it's even shorter than the SM Joiner but it will do 6" material. I surfaced the top and bottom of my material with a planer ...

Kevin, I am no longer active on the forum, but I believe your post and the responses you received illustrates a point I failed to get across to other members of this forum in the past so I will interject here on this thread in one final attempt. IF this isn't your problem, I apologize for the follow...

Now Stumpy Nubs has weighed in on this matter...I particularly like his comments near the end regarding "veteran woodworkers".

Just popping in for a quick PSA...don't worry, I won't linger here. I have always liked products from Starrett company and held them in high regard.

RF Guy; Hate to see you go. I have no problems with any opinions that diverge from my own, short of those that promote violence or anti-social action. As has been said by other posters, being confronted with a different point of view can be an excellent prompting to re-evaluate one's own opinions a...

JPG, Last I checked my skin was 4mm thick for the outer layer and 1cm for the inner layer. How thick would you have it be? :D Again I need to clarify as it seems I have not made my point clear here. It isn't about me having thicker skin or even about others here changing who they are to not offend ...

All, Up above, I was asked to look in the mirror, so I have taken considerable time to reflect before giving a response. I joined this forum a little over five years ago with the intent to connect with other Shopsmith owners, to hopefully learn some new tips/techniques related to my Mark V since I ...

We agree on that! ;-) Then I would say "You have not made the point" and probably never will . Exactly. In this moment, I think of the famous quote " Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. " So, I choose to quit. Oh how interesting ...
