Do you have another saw besides the Shopsmith?

I still use a "skill" saw frequently mostly outside the shop. I also use a sliding compound mitre saw more and more. My old Craftsman radial arm is getting less and less use-mostly rough cutting that doesn't require accuracy. I still have a fondness for it, as it was my only saw for many years. I am in the process of upgrading a 510 to a 520, and converted and rebuilt old 500 parts into a mini SS to run SPTs, sand and saw.

I still use a Craftsman miter saw, with laser guide, that I still use for cutting boards to length when I have the Shopsmith set up in some other mode. I also have a Floor model Bandsaw (Craftsman) and Dewalt Scroll Saw, both of which I had before the Shopsmith. If I had the Shopsmith first, there is no doubt I would have gotten the bandsaw and scrollsaw attachments instead. I did build a frame out of angle iron and casters so both units could be rolled to another location to get them out of the way.
