Shopsmith Forums

No. I'm guessing SS just received another stocking order of motors used for new builds and repairs but the minimum order is for way more than they can use over a reasonably time so they put the excess on sale to preserve cash.

I discovered the "flesh-sensing technology" costs about $300 not $1000's per saw. The Sawstop Professional Cabinet Saw is very similar to the new Delta Unisaw. The price difference is just under $300. Mr. Gass (Inventor and Lawyer) did try to have the government impose his technology on e...

Apparently a jury awarded 1.5 mil to a man who was injured using a table saw without the flesh detecting technology that SawStop uses.

Thanks Dusty The video didn't help much, as I have made drawers & cabinet doors in the past, but never the main floor mounted cabinet. My main knowledge gap is the area under the bottom shelf behind the toe space & kick-flat. It is important to note that the floor is neither flat nor level....

I believe you can buy a screw hole vice grip style made by Kreg at woodcraft, HD, Lowes, etc. That's what I have and it's pretty fast to clamp and un-clamp.

Without breaking down the shopsmith (taking the legs off at a min) it would stand too tall to lay down or stand up in most mini-vans. The SS is about 6 feet log so you would probably need to remove the back seat also. The worktable and extensions can be removed quickly. So you only need to be concer...

I have an opportunity to buy a Speedaire compressor for $200. I am wondering if it would be satisfactory for sand/media blasting. I plan to use it for rust and paint removal. My research online has led me to believe it is. But I'd like real-world opinions. If you have experience with this operation...

One of my goals is to find a quality miter saw stand to permanently affix my miter saw to. I'd like to get one with wheels for portability. Does anyone have any suggestions? BPR I own the Rigid (home depot - $179) with a 12" Milwaukee Sliding Miter saw and I'm pleased with the stand. The stand...

I'd use the Power Twist Link Belt (red in color) rather than the HF belt (I've heard it is stiffer than the Power Twist and may cause your sheeves to wear -- Bill Mayo should be able to verify this). You can by it by the foot all over the internet. If I remember right, I used 35 links.

Even a little skim cut like that shown in the video? I have Dusty's question too.....how come you wouldn't. 1. I have multiple plywood blades and have no reason to attempt the described scoring operation. 2. I don't feel that I would have safe control of the workpiece. 3. On a longer scoring operat...
