GOT MY FIRST SHOPSMITH!
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2021 9:00 pm
Well I bought a 510 used from ebay for my first SS and it came with 2 discs (unused), belt sander (new in box), conical disc (new in box) , 3" drum unit, band saw, jointer (all virtually new), all the tables and legs minus the knuckles, biscuit cutter ( NIB), router attachments and bits (NIB), router insert, shaper disc with one set of blades, new dado set, 2 books, wrench, 10er jointer head (nib), I know I'm missing something but can't think of what it is
I'm just cogitating on do I keep the belt sander and not the discs or keep them all. For what I will need immediately it will be the bandsaw, jointer and table saw all setting on the legs. The discs will be needed in 2 grits (easy enough to change out) and something to mold Roam Ogee trim (router bits (which I have 1/4') or the 3 blade shaper disc (which I've used in the past on RASs, I have an old Craftsman one in its box also)
I also have a plethora of orbital sanders, hand held belt sanders, drill motors, a nice machinists drill press set up on a separate bench, a Dewalt on-site contractor bench saw (fantastic rip fence, always parallel to the blade and two roll around 10 drawer mechanics hand tool chests packed to the gills. So I could maybe stand to thin things out a little - MAYBE
Used to have a garage full of dedicated wood working tools that I passed on to someone else for the small foot print of the SS in the new garage.
I subscribe to the axiom- "Man can never have too many tools!
