Shopsmith Forums

I saw an estate sale on Craigslist that just said Shopsmith Equipment. I emailed and they had a bunch of accessories on power stations. Asking $150 each.

I bought a band saw, scroll saw and a belt sander for $350. He also had a jointer and a router which I passed on (already have). When I was walking back into the house I saw a strip sander, no base and told the guy I wished I'd seen that and commented I only had $40 left. Sold, he said.

I think I did pretty good for $390 total.



They cleaned up nice.

I'd say you did great.

You got your money back in just the Power Stands.

Nice score! Have you had time yet to figure out where to put everything?

wow i would love to find a deal like that! the belt sander alone that i was bidding on went for over 350 bucks this weekend!

Nice score!

Very nice.

no correlation at all.

There are several units for sale locally

well there were more but this one looks like a pretty good deal for $150.

I could have bought a jointer with stand for another $100 but 1) I didn't need one 2) I was out of cash and 3) my car was pretty filled up by then.

LOL, there are some nice deals around there for sure...
