Shopsmith Forums

None so blind as those who will not look. Apparently a lost cause, so: Out! Nearly a year has passed since this discussion, and I have not been on the forum since November 2012; and today I receive an email that you have "replied" to this post. "None so blind as those who will not lo...

Sir, I suggest that you turn your little light bulb on, then, and let it go. Then, since you are going the wrong direction, I suggest also that you turn around.

[quote="JPG40504"]Attacked? No I do not think so. Criticized for word choice etc., probably. Myself, I love critique as I corrects any mis-conceptions I may have. Trick is to keep your own emotions out of it and tolerate/understand other's emotions. I did not say 'agree'.] You just don't k...

Apparently, it is a problem for some people, or else I wouldn't have been so viciously attacked for posting mine. Enough is enough, gentlemen.

You smart-alecs should instead of boasting, be rather thankful that you have the financial resources to either upgrade or buy the new machine. I do not. Oh, so now under your rules, I cannot even speak about something that I do not like!! Are you a communist? That's exactly why we have a republic, f...

I am very glad it is working out for all of you, for you must be financially blessed. And, you are not telling me anything I didn't know already. But my comments stand. Who would buy a used Mark V 520 machine for the price of a new Mark V 520 machine ($3679.00) or a Mark 7 ($3979.00)?? Only $300.00 ...

Ed, IMHO, Shopsmith is way out of line with their prices for ANY of their Power Pro Headstock options. Shopsmith must think that we are all made of money! Of course they recommend that we all purchase brand new Mark 7 machines!! But, unfortunately, the day they announced the availability of the Mark...
