The speed increaser does not apparently. I doubt the speed reducer would either although it is made of stouter stuff.
I really do not disagree with this statement BUT how do we know that? Does the Shopsmith documentation anywhere state "not to be used in a production environment"? I don't think so. Just more supposition!
Perhaps but an obvious one due to the slant of their advertising etc..
