Shopsmith Forums

Glad you got it back up and running. Yeah, once you convert to SSD it will be hard to go back to a platter type hard drive. Unfortunately software bloat typically slows windows down after awhile (meaning you don't see that snappy SSD performance forever), so the only way to get back to virgin level ...

Hi there, I am new to this forum as of yesterday. I was recently given the opportunity to get a hold of my late grandpas shopsmith, and I jumped on the chance immediately. I have done a bit of research on the machine but am having a hard time finding the serial number on the website. The serial num...

Dave Klose does absolutely beautiful work. I always wanted one of his rigs. He will make anything you want if he doesn't already make it. https://bbqpits.com/ Agreed. Almost shed a tear when I sold it, but with my new rig I can cook over night and get some sleep which is a bonus. Klose spent like a...

Okay, I have to add this one last thing. I just received a email from Traeger Grills this morning. It reads - Welcome to the next phase of wood fired grilling.

I don't own a conical sanding disc and never really saw the point myself. Yes, I know it can be useful for alternatively jointing figured woods like birdseye maple, etc. Of course with a helical cutter head and proper direction and feed rate you can do the same thing on a jointer. They're just an al...

That makes more sense. Good idea.

Nice! I like the extension wing idea, height adjustment and using the MFT as potentially an outfeed table with the Shopsmith. This thread has some great ideas. I recently started watching a few of Mr. Stanton's videos as well and like his content. I don't have a track saw yet, but between this threa...

Really nice job ! I really like the contrasting woods. You will definitely need to add something for traction. Smooth finished wood treads are treacherous in socks for instance. We learned that the hard way years ago. It’s painful putting fasteners in your beautiful treads though. From an esthetic ...

Since the extension table brackets are out of stock , I am thinking I could make something out of angle iron or angle aluminum that would do the same function. Maybe a grommet placed in the holes to protect the tubing from scratching the tubing? Has anyone here tried this? Thanks, After posting thi...
