Knock-off SS

Post by ExtraMile »

Well I will be a monkey's uncle, I just found on craigslist, a total knock-off of the Shopsmith Mark V.
They are called a "Total Shop" 5 in 1 tool. Made in Taiwan. Crazy... lol!

Yes, that's been brought up here before. there was a lawsuit filed to stop that sort of thing if I recall correctly. If you do a search here there is some interesting reading on the subject. They were decent clones, and some Shopsmith replacement parts MAY fit, but not all. The SPT's work I believe.
