Another 'clone' by HF. IIRC there is another that cloned the Smithy. Too bad they no longer make this. Much more capable than the SS. They will not fit in a prius.;)

I remember seeing ads for the Smithy supershop years ago.

Not that I want to buy it just to see if it would fit, but I would take that bet. Given enough time and tools to take it apart I bet I could get it in my Prius ! :D

Fred has a Prius maybe he will do it. Right Fred :eek:

More than a Prius.

Well, make that more than a Prius without the battery.:D

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

SS = Shopsmith or ??

What makes this "much more capable"?

The Auto feed feature looks interesting. I guess it can perform like a metal lathe with two directional travel.
