I understood where you were going. I will always look for good deals on attachments. (there is a jointer with power station for $100 bucks calling to me that I can buy right now). but I can also see where one might start to collect stuff just for the sake of having it. I would love the 510 or 520 table system but in reality I have a stationary table saw that does what that does already so it would be a trophy and not a necessity. I will have a great router table very soon when I finish my table saw extension so no need for a router attachment.

I get it temper desire with practicality.

Go get it!!!! Especially if it IS a power STATION rather than a power STAND.

A power station has variable speed and SPTs mount on it just like the Mark V but with a limited speed range. FWIW, it is too slow for a jointer.

I consider a jointer to be critical to making stuff accurately.

A band saw would be the second thing to acquire. Took me 50 years to realize that.

The Power Station does not provide the suggested RPM that the jointer is advertised to operate at BUT the jointer will function properly even at that reduced RPM. All one needs to do is reduce feed rate accordingly.

Instructions, if required, are contained in the Crafter's Station manual beginning on page B-39. The Crafter's Station is nothing more than a modified Power Station with some added accessories to make it a table saw.

Oops I lied this one does not come with a power station. it is just the joiner.

Go get it anyway(unless you already have one ). That appears to be in excellent condition and I assume you be picking it up(no shipping $).


I do understand the lack of $ issue.

Yeah I can pick it up. It does look like a nice one and no I don't already have one. Unfortunately my car is in the shop with a $1500.00 repair bill and my shopsmith is down with a $100.00 repair bill and ect and ect. you all know how it goes I ain't complaining about anything that everyone doesn't go through. So $100 bucks for the joiner doesn't seem responsible...I hate being responsible.
