I saw that "cast iron" reference. Of course at least most of the imported clones I ever saw had cast iron tables and it is possible that there are a number of Shopsmith 500's out there with cast iron clone tables on them.

I did not equip with Shopsmiths in spite of the setups but because of them.

OKAY. Have you determined exactly what it is that you have?

The clone cast iron table will have a different size miter gauge slot. It is the same size as the table saws use. I have 2 of the Total Shop tables left. I would be happy to donate one to anyone stopping by my shop, no shipping. I have one of the Total Shop tables with 1/3 of the table cut off mounted on my drilling/tapping/milling Shopsmith.

Boy, do I ever wish I was close enough to "drop by".
