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. :)

The one I bought used just sez Menards P.D.F. on it. I have a 6" belt sander by them for a SS also.

Harbor Freight/Central Machinery made a Shopsmith compatible joiner. I've had this beast for a long time. It weighs about 115 pounds. Works great if you can lift it.

I bought a used Menards Clone 6" used for my nephew, looks the same except for the paint color. Yours seems a bit short by the pics but his is longer by about 4-5" the the SS 4" and has a 4 blade cutter head instead of the SS 3 blade, I figure that is for the limited HP to 6" width ratio.

Funny, the machining swirls on the out feed table are the same as the Menards.
