Adapting A Shopsmith For Another Use...

Missed this post before. Once I get a 9 to 5 job again I will get in touch...

Thanks for everybody's input on this. It is the exact direction I was thinking in. As for why do I want to set up a second Shopsmith dedicated to this...? I want to be able to keep the wood working and the metal working set-ups separate from each other. I don't want to mix metal filings and saw dust together on the machines- and don't want the chance for metal filings to find sawdust I might have missed during clean up and set it on fire....

Since I do more metal working than wood working, please contact me as I have modified Shopsmiths for a lot of metal working tasks. I am even in Florida so you may be able to visit my shop. Thanks.

Bill - can we ever get a full photo tour of your shop, with detail photos of the various modified ones? Please?
