Hello everyone. I’m new to the forum and to Shopsmith. I have my new Mark 7 on order and it will be here in four to six weeks. I have individual machines currently but am looking to gain more space in my garage. Plus I like the accuracy I’m seeing compared to my cheap machines. Can’t wait to get started and learning from everyone on this forum.

Welcome and remember we all love to see pictures, so post some when you get your new Mark 7.

"Plus I like the accuracy I’m seeing compared to my cheap machines".
I like this comment. Not everyone claims that accuracy is a Shopsmith virtual. I swear by mine. When I get inaccurate cuts, I find (almost always) that I screwed up.
I frequently fail to take into account the kerf. You must pay attention to which side of the blade the work piece located.
