I am new to the Shopsmith, but about 20 years ago I did custom woodworking for about 10 years. Always wanted to get back into woodworking but never really had the space or the money for all the tools. I recently was able to get a Shopsmith with jointer, bandsaw, lathe, disc sander, drum sander, and the dust collector with all accessories and manuals.
After reading the manual and making sure everything is setup correctly, I think this is one of the best tools ever! I'm going to start small but I can't really think of many things that I could not make that we did in that custom shop.
I look forward to asking questions and hope soon i might be able to help others!
New owner of Shopsmith!!
