You would use that formula if you didn't duplicate functions - if the first machine is a table saw, none of the remaining four can be a table saw, and if the second machine is a drill press, none of the remaining 3 can be a drill press, etc.

And that does not begin to allow for the half zillion odd jobs that it is "almost" sat up to do. :p
You know, Like throwing on a wire wheel or buffer. Driving a non Shopsmith tool for another example.
In my own case a few ultra simple quill adapters allowed me to do parts of a lot of shoe repair jobs at home in the evening. You are mostly limited by your imagination... :cool:
