Shopsmith Forums

Thanks for this. I'm looking forward to learning all those things I should know already after all these years!

Based on the information they asked at signup I'll watch for catalogs and offers in the mail and email too, which I stopped receiving long ago.

They're from the earliest years of the Mark V and don't always adhere to modern safety best practices, but you can learn a lot from these videos. The tablesaw chapter is linked below.

Thanks again for this series. Felt like I was in grade school shop class. Only thing missing was the clicking of the 16mm protector. I've watched then all several times more.

Sweet! I was talking to a friend the other day about my new Shopsmith and he said his father had one years ago and that there was still some stuff left in his garage and that I could have anything I found.

There was a few couplers, sanding discs, but the big find was a speed increaser and the shaper fence to go along with it!!!!

Happy guy here!!!!
