Post by harper_07 »

Well i have decided to pick it up. It comes home Monday (I have been out of town all week). I am very excited. My biggest hang up was it is not free and I am not into spending money on things that i won't use. After doing research i am fairly confident that this tool is cable of being more accurate than I am. I'll post more once i start working with it.

If you find your not happy with it I'll make you a deal. I'll pay your taxes, and give you my fully equipped 500. And I'll even come and pick it up.:D It's a win win for both of us.

Congratulations and welcome to this fine group (of opportunists) and Shopsmith users. If you have a difficulty getting set up, don't hesitate to ask for help. Even though we are jealous, we will help.

You are a winner all around. I just could not believe this follow on offer made by a member of this group. "If you find your not happy with it I'll make you a deal. I'll pay your taxes, and give you my fully equipped 500".

When you get ready to collect, if you have trouble finding this guy, just let me know. I know where he lives.

Welcome to the 'forum', and the mis-understood body of ss converts.

It be a 'different' animal, but therein lies its strength.

Like scotch or bourbon, it takes getting used to but then alternatives are just not as satisfying.

No one has asked, but how come Hartville decided to make a Mark 7 a 'grand' opening prize? Do they have some business relationship with SS?

There were some representatives from Ali Industries there promoting Shopsmith abrasives. I got a free sample! They actually said they were from Gator Grit. They brought the Mark 7 to offer as a prize. They didn't even set it up, it was still in the box.

Sincerely,
