Re: Should I buy my friend's Shopsmith?

Got it today! Super excited to figure everything out on this. He had the overhead router attachment as well, which will definitely get a lot of use. I have a router table and plunge router right now, but being able to see my cuts on top for inner routes will be super useful.

Re: Should I buy my friend's Shopsmith?

Yessir, definitely the desert - I'm in AZ ;) I thought that looked like an AZ "cookie cutter" house and yard (no offense). :) Well, I assume your friend can show you how to use it, etc., but if you need/want any help with it, e.g. how to perform certain functions, maintenance tips, etc. j...

Re: Should I buy my friend's Shopsmith?

Thanks for all the answers, everyone. This is all super informative! I think going with the SS would be worth it for me - to be honest, I've only felt the need to use a jointer once so far, and I used my neighbor's 6" jointer to do some boards for some fencing I built on my house. I just know I...

Re: Should I buy my friend's Shopsmith?

The first thing you will need to do is find out just what is coming in this purchase. It should have both the lower and the upper blade guards, it should have extension tables and tubes and other things like the drill press chuck, sanding disk, blade with arbor and well the list goes on.
