Shucks! Well anyway, Shopsmith won't charge your account until it's shipped.

Took delivery this morning on the strip sander that I ordered a couple weeks ago. Everything works as intended and looking forward to using it for taking out bandsaw marks on the wood flowers I make to fill the vases I turn. Here's a couple pics of what I use my SS for as a sanding station. Belt, drum, flat & conical disks and now the strip sander. First pics show where I use the SS so I have access to dust collection and the later pics show where I park the machine.

Thanks guys. Really looking forward to working this baby out. I've been impressed with the dust collection on the belt sander and both styles of disk sanders. Hope this one does the same.
