Dick,
The SS Router Table has been listed on Craig's List for several days now and seems to be located in West Phoenix. Try Craig's List Phoenix for a look see.

Since the switch has pretty much 0 crossover to the rest of the shopsmith system, there is genuinely not a gigantic rousing power like there is on various devices. The essential benefit here is that the T-Track space would fit a shopsmith estimated miter guage...but that can be handled on various tables.

The guideline inspiration to get shopsmith switch courses of action is where you can find an overarm pin switch autonomous, especially if it has the under mount switch plan as well. In that condition you are getting some veritable worth.

Since the router has almost 0 crossover to the rest of the shopsmith system, there isn't a huge incentive like there is on other tools. The main benefit here is that the T-Track slot would fit a shopsmith sized miter guage...but that can be solved on other tables.

The main reason to get shopsmith router setups is when you can find an overarm pin router standalone, especially if it has the under mount router setup as well. In that situation you are getting some real value.
And note the similarities and differences with this earlier post in the thread. Very creative?

SPAM is coming. The SPAMers are getting creative. They post something somewhat? relevant to get accepted and then post their SPAM or add links to the original post.

Not yet but Ed and David said it very well. As far as his IP that means nothing if he is using VPN software. It can be any where in the world. Are you saying that anyone with an IP in the US is not a SPAMer? I use Malwarebytes Privacy VPN software and my IP right now is Denver. I can change it to 32 other countries besides the USA with multiple locations in many of them.

He IS a spammer. He added a link with an innocuous label of router table. It will be disappearing.

Does anyone have any ideas as to anywhere else that has these in stock? Is the lead time on something like this normal, or is this just because of Covid?

If my question on this post is not allowed, I apologize. Let me know and I’ll take it down.
I don't know what Incra's normal lead times are, but I had a similar experience this past year. I bought a few Incra items in the last year and all of them had the dreaded COVID warning indicating long lead times for certain products. You can see the warning on some of the product websites at Incra, but also on the order emails from them after placing an order. I can't remember the details but I do remember most all of my stuff came much earlier than the lead time quoted which was a plus for me. You may want to contact them and see what they say about their current lead times. In my experience they are very responsive on customer inquiries so I would just ask them about what to expect. It may be shorter than you think.
