My Bride is Gonna Kill Me! Buying a Shopsmith Mark 2 on a Business Trip!

John, I have the headstock from one of those Powr-Kraft 5-in-1 tools, and it really is interesting that someone at Magna/Yuba thought that adding variable speed to the Mark 2 was a good idea!

Were there any under the Shopsmith name?

Not that I've ever seen.

Have you ever done a MyGrowthRings video to show how the speed control works? I don’t know how broad the interest would be, but I’d be fascinated!

I did this one: https://youtu.be/BnZXpT_qHlE but that's not quite what I think you are asking for. I think that would be fun to do but I've avoided doing one so far because I felt that Nick and Jacob kind of had that topic pretty well covered. That said, I do have something to say about everything! We'll see. Thanks for the suggestion. Scott

I was specifically referring to the variable speed control on the Dyno-Shop headstock (the Powr-Kraft “Mark 2” variant). Has that been covered elsewhere??

It is still a reeves drive.

Got ya. Well, I shared that on one of my Q&A videos, which is now member content. It's quite similar to the Power Station, but different!
