I'd rather have 2 carriages, and 2 tables, on a stretched ER, like my double-length one.

But, the serious issue, the length from front to back, not from side to side.

Since we, (all of us) have a tilting table saw, instead of a tilting arbor saw, we can rip at an angle better. A tilting arbor saw can cross cut at an angle, better.

Face it, a Shopsmith, any model, is still not the tool of choice for cutting up full sheets of plywood, unless you have an assistant or 2.

If it was me, I'd get an outfeed table instead.

Yep! I wonder what it was used for.

What, no comment on de $?

FWIW I'd rather have a tilt arbor table saw, a compound miter chop saw, a 'skil' saw and guide and 'a few SS'!:D

Clearly delusional on the selling price but he'll figure that out in due time...
