I picked up 2 more and the nephew had 1 from his greenie, I set him up with those, I just did not need 2 more. I like the aluminum ones over the steel.
I mean how many do ya need? I am not greedy or do the Ebay thing.
They tend to tag along! :D Me too re alum vs steel. Distributes the dust more effectively! :rolleyes:

Uh, Shopsmiths are like clamps.

You CANNOT have too many! :D

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.
