Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

I may have "spoke" too soon as I found a thread from a Seebee but now for the life of me can't find it to name it.

That siren you hear? Yep, that's the cops coming to arrest you for grand theft! Seriously, congrats on a great deal -- your patience paid off big time. I spent a similar amount of time waiting for a good deal on a used SS Pro Planer -- the stand-alone version -- and I've been delighted with it. Buc...

Hi, I am new to this forum, just purchased my first Shopsmith last month. I also have a stand alone barn/garage that I will use for my shop once I get the proper electrical. I currently have one 15amp line that runs the shopsmith but nothing else. What I am wondering, I have looked at a few other po...

I have been watching and looking for a shopsmith for about a year and last month found what I consider a good deal here in Florida. I found a 2004 520 with bandsaw, belt sander, dust collector and jointer along with books and tools for $600 It has all attachments except for the upper saw guard. I th...
