Shopsmith Forums

Thanks for the info Guys some real wisdom there.
I do have a good power supply setup in the works but I'll be turning it down while I'm still on an extension chord.
I always turn it down when I finish a session but just in case I'll be mounting a sign.
Once again thanks. The=is is the best forum I ...

Prior to buying my Shopsmith I had read a couple of reviews that admittedly were a bit critical. They didn't like the Shopsmith because, they said, the operating instructions said that the speed control must be turned to it's lowest setting before turning off the power and then brought back up to ...

What finish did you put (or just bare wood with the cedar)?

I didn't finish them. they were a gift and I let them choose whatever finish they want.

They came out ok and I got some rust out at his expense.
I found out I don't like that i have to reset the fence with a tape every time and was beginning to ...

I bought a 510 model used and it came with 7 boxes of 'stuff ...

My Dad was a real sticker for making sure his hand saws were clean and sharp. He made sure I learned how to sharpen them and always maintained he could cut a plank faster with his hand saw than I could with by carbide tips.

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to say Hi.
My Name is Wayne and I live in Guelph Ontario.
