The ACTUAL answer to the question 'How many chucks should I have?' is 'One more, at least... oh, and maybe one of those other ones'. So there.

I see holes on one of the tables. Could it have also had an Incra Fence system?
I don't see a 520 fence. That's odd.

Never-the-less, congratulations! Members here told me of a 520 with a bandsaw in Maryland on April 5th. Amazingly I sent an email & learned I was the first person to contact the person on April 29th. I'm surprised no one picked it up & thought it had problems, but it looked brand new! The bandsaw even had the new door.

On Feb 4th, I was also unable to resist a 510 with an entire Incra system, a planer, joiner, biscuit jointer, maybe a belt sander- and two full boxes full of stuff. This was about 30 minutes from Philly. The owner no longer wanted the Shopsmith so he could buy something safe...a Saw Stop.... That too was a price I had to keep looking back to see if the cops were following me.

Good deals are to had if one looks or on Craig's List or even here on the forum. Go figure. There was a huge Shopsmith recycler in Philly who only sold quality items. There was also a guy in upstate NY whose Ebay pics made the items appear like they were floating in the air. Looks like they're on vacation and leaving good deals for the rest of us!
