I have found many a gem (several lathe chucks, accessories & attachments) by just looking around and explaining what came with or works with the Shopsmith. I take a Shopsmith catalog with me to show them. Most people selling a Shopsmith cheaply will have no idea what came with the Shopsmith or what someone added later. This could still be a bargain even without the items you listed above.
For that price, you have gotten your monies worth with the bandsaw and jointer. Everything else is gravy as my father would have said.

Really good gravy given that the 520 table upgrade kit costs almost that much.

I emailed the seller and asked about the above items. I received this response:"Hello, I inherited this item and it did not include the floating table. There are tubes from the saw platform to the extended table that are already connected in the picture. It never had a saw guard and there is a lower guard/vacuum attachmmet that never seemed to fit. Also, no sand disk. It does run very well though!"

Someone who is a member here, is planning on bidding against Bill? And, the same guy brags about it?

Sounds like someone needs to be deleted.

Fine, Bill has been here from the beginning, and buys and sells used Shopsmiths, to support his family. He also gives members here REAL GOOD deals.

I can pretty much guarantee that if you mess him over, you'll be a pariah here.

Not just on here Steve... eBay has a great review system and I'm willing to bet he intends on reselling. PayPal always backs the buyers version of events... No matter how fabricated... And I have a GREAT imagination.

P.S. "Fine" ... I don't think anyone would have really cared if you didn't join the forums just to post about how big an oriface you are.

Josh, 2 things upset me, about this.

The fact that he intends on doing this, and the fact that he is doing this $#!+ to Bill.

And, he came here to brag about it.

This is one time I'd like to see some "karmic" justice administered.

Admin, sorry if we went over the line.

Bill, let us know if we can help out in any way. (Legally though. Kneecapping "fine" isn't kosher, but he's upset me enough to consider it.)

I don't have much, but if you need a dime or 500, let us know.
