Re: Heritical Table Saw Question

Saw smith is anything but accurate! The blade/slide unit wiggles at least a 1/8 and inch from what I remember. That memory is about 35 years old. I looked the saw considered buying it ( I was up to my neck in Shopsmith stuff at the time) but walked away as I concluded I could do a more accurate job ...

Re: WHERE Y'ALL AT???

I know we are most concerned about wood working but if things do not change this nation is going to have a serious problem. As mentioned in the woodbrew video a major problem is after you get kids interested in the trades there is no one to teach them. He gave a statistic that the average age of tra...

Re: WHERE Y'ALL AT???

Like Dusty I am still here but most of the subjects in many posts have been very mundane. Since I refuse to support FB I am not on there nor any of todays “social media” type venues.

Re: Main Table Stability....in Saw Table and Drill Press Modes

Fact a standalone tablesaw has absolutely no table movement. The fact that the SS does whether .001 or 1/4 inch is a problem. Fact once aligned most table saws can not be bumped out of alinement.

Re: The Shopsmith X-6000 prototype

Hey if you are going to dream, dream about a multifunction machine that has a tilting arbor.
