I wasn't able to go to either of the ones in my area due to conflicting schedules. Anyone one the forum go? If so, review?

The nice thing about this design is that you could mount it on the way tubes instead of using the SPT mount. Doing so would allow you to run another SPT at the same time (ie: 6" belt sander -> belt grinder -> MK5 -> sanding disk).

The bench tubes are 18" long. They are the left over pieces from when I made my shorty. The bases castings are slid on the tubes as far as they will go (one end has a stop but the other end does not). Can I just use a hack saw to cut the bench tubes? Sure! Have plenty of blades. Eat a hearty b...

Table saw and disk sanders: make a couple new lower guards with 4 and 6 inch ports, respectively, and add a 2 inch port to the upper guard http://www.shopsmith.com/ss_forum/maintenance-and-repair-f10/a-little-challenge-t6063.html That thread is a wealth of information on dust collection for the tab...

The best strategy is to use a video camera and record where dust is coming out while making some cuts. I used that strategy when figuring out the below. Others have used it successfully to track down the source of dust for the table saw function and such. Jointer: have not thought of a way to I impr...
