I was amazed at the special edition plane for $1,796.00.fixit wrote:Everyone should have at least one of these don't you think?

I'm sure they build nice tools, but there is definitely a weird component to the hobby of woodworking. To each is their own, but there definitely is a subset that will spend a fortune on tools. I though Lie Nielsen was expensive at $300-$400.

For that price...
If I had $250 to spend, I'd probably have another Shopsmith off craigslist! Maybe TWO!
'55 Greenie #292284 (Mar-55), '89 SS 510 #020989, Mark VII #408551 (sold 10/14/12), SS Band Saw, (SS 500 #36063 (May-79) now gone to son-in-law as of 11-11), Magna bandsaw, Magna jointer 16185 (May-54), Magna belt sander SS28712 (Dec-82), Magna jigsaw SS4397 (Dec-78), SS biscuit joiner, Zyliss (knockoff) vise, 20+ hand planes, 60s Craftsman tablesaw, CarbaTec mini-lathe, and the usual pile of tools.

If you think that SS is expensive try to get spare parts from Delta.
I have a new Delta midi lathe and I checked for prices in case something breaks. Delta charges $35.00 for a replacement belt and none are available and no date is given for availability. I found the replacement belt online for $4.42. Go figure. The knockout bar is listed as $77.00 !!!!!! This for a piece of 5/16 drill rod with a knob that I could turn in less than ten minutes. Can you spell "rippofff"?
