Shopsmith Forums

Taking JPG's direction and posting a link to my sale. It's not a "steal" but I'm open to offers and motivated to free up space.

Getting ready to put my Mark V with the 520 upgrade up for sale. This was my first Shopsmith and I bought it with the understanding that I'd have limited space. That's no longer the case so I'm slowly moving to full size equipment. It's in good shape and runs well. It has quite a few goodies with it...

Anyone have experience with the Lee Valley economy set of hollow chisels? Scott from My Growth Rings said in his mortising Q&A video that he'd be doing a review of them but it's been a year and I don't think that ever came out. Maybe that in itself is an indicator of their performance

To follow up with this, I ordered one of those 4" semi-flexible dust hoses that look like a regular dust hose but holds its position once set. Powertec sells them on Amazon and Rockler calls them "FlexForm" hoses. I hooked up one end to my DC ducting and persuaded the other end into a...

I called SS before I picked it up and the lady I spoke to said they had no overarm router parts whatsoever. For the...

Hi all, I picked up a stand-alone Shopsmith overarm router today, the later model one with the under table mount also. It’s in pretty good shape but I’m missing the dust nozzle that mounts under the arm. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement or have dimensions of the original they can give me? ...

Hi all, I recently made the folding, tilting, self-raising outfeed tables that Nick shows off in one of the Sawdust Sessions. It works great and I like it a lot, so I use it a lot. Unfortunately having it on my Mark V means there is one more thing to remove to raise it up into drill press mode... So...
