My wife constantly states I have a problem... I picked up my 500 from CL 2 years ago in February and have been cleaning it up and adding accessories. Yes. I have that disorder too. LOL!

Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them. :)

I have less than $1000 invested in all of it. I think I need to get my units set up and stop gathering. So the plan is to set one of the 510s set up for lathe and table saw. Not sure how to set up the other Mark Vs, thinking one will be shorty for band saw, jig saw, jointer and sanding, while the other for drill press. Any suggestions and/or intervention to keep me off craigslist will be appreciated.
Problem? What problem? Opportunity I say. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Who has time to use the tools? All I can seem to find time for is making room for the latest one.

I do not have a problem. I am merely a collector of fine SS machinery. Of course my wife disagrees. Hmmm

But if you happen to find the right one as I did it is the most beautiful thing in the world.

He He He! I have 3 MK V's and 5 10ER's plus a whole shop full of stand alone tools and my wife is OK since she uses most of them.

However, she and I agree we don't really need any more Shopsmith's.
