I agree that could be more interesting than just a change in color. But I suspect the cost of resurrecting discontinued tools would be prohibitive.

I'll take a guess. It has to be something that is relatively easy to do, so maybe a limited offering of new Mark 7s offered in retro colors like the classic hammered verde green or goldie color schemes?

Anyone else want to guess?

The legal test isn't whether they share an address but whether they are separately incorporated. At the bottom of the Stiatech website I see "Striatech USA, Inc.", and the use of "Inc." means Striatech USA is legally a separate company from Teknatool, even if if is a wholly owned...

[Those of you who own PowerPro headstocks should be on the phone with Shopsmith L.P. to determine how this bankruptcy of the company that makes the "smart" motor affects the future of Shopsmith L.P. lol, it is beyond unlikely anyone at Shopsmith is going to take a random call and answer t...

For the moment this a reorganization under Chapter 11, meaning the company expects to emerge on the other side and continue in business; but that doesn't mean they will continue manufacturing/supporting all prior product lines or the DVR motor.

The CEO and Director of Ops for a woodworking machinery company should know the difference between a belt sander and a drum sander.

However, there was a much simpler solution to this one particular problem. Mike says the Shopsmith insert is precisely 3.0" wide. WHY not take a machinist 1-2-3 block and set the rip fence to blade to give a 3.0" cut width that way? Heck of A LOT faster and more precise AND no messing wit...

That's the great thing about a Shopsmith: There are often a lot of different ways to accomplish the same thing. With a regular table saw, if you need to adjust the width of a rip a little your only choice is to unlock and move the rip fence a little. You can do that on the Shopsmith in table saw mod...
