I'm back (I hope that's a good thing)

Hey everybody,

After being away for awhile (but lurking), I decided that I would try this again. All of you are much more experienced Shopsmith users and woodworkers than I am. It would be foolish of me not to take advantage of that.

I know the last time I was here I upset many people and I sincerely apologize. I will endeavor not to be so argumentative.

I will not be using PM, so I have provided my e-mail address below.

Within the last two weeks I acquired a standalone overarm router and a Sawsmith 2000 via Craigslist, so I have lots of new questions, especially about the table saw. When I got the overarm router I sold a Jet mortising machine and a Rockler router table which paid for both items and a pair of tires!

Sincerely,

Ron309753

Hi Ron,
I just pulled my OAR out of storage and used it to cut some toy parts and a recess for a pistol for a presentation box.
Maybe we can share some experiences and techniques.

Ron, welcome
I was looking at a 2000 sometime ago and wish I had picked it up. Was a little high but in like new shape and with a great fence upgrade on it. I don't have a OAR yet but still looking
Good Luck

Welcome back. Frankly, I can"t remember any details of past disagreements..........don't care either!

Your return is timely, many of us feel that Shopsmith is on the verge of new and better times with the advent of the PowerPro headstock.

I didn't realize there were disagreements on here. I just thought it was that we all had our own opinions and were not only etitled to but expected to express them. This is a great place to get information from others.
