Shopsmith still amazes me.

What other drill press on the market lets you lay down a 24"x30" cabinet floor and still have table to spare?

Here's a panoramic shot, badly distorted of the cabinets I was building for the new miter station. Got the final one assembled last night. Need to level and secure them tonight. This gives me 11'9" to either side of the blade for the miter saw, and tons of storage once I get doors and drawers done.
