Shopsmith Forums

I would be interested to know if anyone has submitted a question to the "Contact Us " portion of the Shopsmith site? I have! I can recall at least four attempts without ever receiving a reply. Their one business day reply is a total lie. I had a question regarding a retro fit item and brok...

How difficult was the installation? Any details about the process would be very helpful in making the decision to purchase one.

I watched a number of YouTube videos showing the process of replacing the Dewalt 735 planer knives with the Shelix helical cutter heads. Just wondering if anyone has spent the $700 to upgrade their Shopsmith planer.

Your statement is a valid one. However I recall they went to a cast iron table because ones like mine were developing cracks. That being the case, they may have made replacements available, possibly with instructions.

After I did this post I received their Christmas Warehouse Sale which has the planer table for $35! If anyone is interested in one wait for the New Year's Warehouse sale and it will probably be $15!!!

When I list mine after the new year it will include however all the extra accessories that were available for the Joint-Matic.

I believe forum rules prohibit selling items. I would however like to give my fellow Shopsmith junkies the first chance (before ebay listing) at purchasing my Shopsmith Joint-Matic, after the holidays. I suspect that the “Private Messages” will be the proper mode for information exchange. I have nev...

Most of us cannot afford another SS, even a 10er. A better solution is to excavate a 6 in. depression in which to stand. I appreciate the humor in this solution, which would actually work. My belief is that if a person is going to spend any amount of time turning wood on a SS he or she needs to add...

Space for another lathe in my shop does not exist. I upgraded my SS to a Power Pro and would like to use some of the added features when turning. I am getting the impression that serious woodturners look at the SS as a basic lathe for an occasional turning project. I believe the height issue is a ma...
