Re: OFFICIAL: SHOPSMITH 75th Anniversary Celebration Event – October 6-7, 2023

As one who wanted to attend, but could not, could someone who did attend post a trip/conference report to share? It would be neat to know how it went, what was your experience, and any/all details about it.

Kudos to all that were responsible for making it happen….

Thanks…. Steve

Re: Carbide Spiral Cutter Head

Re: New Generation 2 PowerPro Headstock Touchscreen

Anyone know when/where demos will be? Can't find anything on this on the website like it used to be. Answering my own question...just got an email about a demo with Mike Young tomorrow regarding a Mark 7 demo. What is NOT clear is whether it will, or will not, have the Gen 2 PowerPro for the demo. ...
