Chris
I like your drawing,:D but you might still have to stand by it and hold a tool.

That was a lot of good info from Nick.

Wow - Nick is the best - I am even MORE excited now! I just hope and pray that a new generation of woodworkers can get as enthused about the PowerPro as we are. Alec

How do you suppose that new generation of wood workers is even going to know about the Power Pro let alone have reason to get enthused?

I understand where you are coming from (but can no longer "see" you), Dusty. Although none of us can answer that question with any factualness, we can all speculate. I speculate that with such a breakthrough in technology, there will be many mentions of this development in the wood working magazines. I am looking forward to finding out where it/it's parts are manufactured. Until then, I am knot going to get too excited.

My guess the woodworking magazines will pick up on the change and report on the new tool. Let's hope.
I think it is also on us ShopSmith users to pick up the flag and let woodworkers know on other forums.
I don't want to get into the whole made in the USA debate. That subject has been beet to death in other posts. But....I am not going to knock the new Shopsmith if it is not in hole or part made here. Shopsmith needs to survive and will get behind anything they feel is right.
Nick touched on the subject of the new unit attracting the younger crowd. The younger crowd that I know jobs are based on a world economy. Looking at products that are only made here is not even in their thought process.
What is considered made in the USA now days? My Ford F150 that was made in Mexico or My Toyota that was made in Kentucky by people I personally know?????
