Tool Gloat--SS Workbench Pro

I don't consider myself an expert on Shopsmith's history but I've done a fair amount of research about a few of the no longer available tools like the Joint Matic, SawsmithRAS and I forget what they call that upside down RAS unit. But until about a week ago, I never heard of the Workbench Pro that A...

And what is the 'trunnion' reading with a flat disk? Have you set the table stop and index pointer square to a flat disk or saw blade. One of the few items that didn't need any adjustments.

Serial #295774 Bought this unit at an estate sale a couple weeks ago because I had been looking at getting a table saw for some remodeling projects. After getting over the wife saying "You bought a what?" I couldn't be happier. A little surface rust on the lower tubes and a little bit of t...
