HER mouth dropped when she saw it and we still cant believe we have an "new" Shopsmith in our basement workshop!!! I little cleaning and lubing (it sat assembled since 1996) and now it is busy in our shop.

These things are awesome it came with a band saw and we just got a jointer for it from e-bay.

BTW- we look forward to any helpful tips and comments from here to help us expand our wood working skills

Todd and Nancy
Congrats on a great buy and welcome to the madness!!

I purchased my 510 in 1989. New it was $1,299.
The crate was just a heavy cardboard box. kinda like what a lawn mower or gas grill came in.
