A woodworking forum for woodworking hobbyist and woodworking projects related and unrelated to the Shopsmith MARK V

Depends on the local prices for used machines. Doesn't look all that clean and probably missing a lot of standard components, no extras like a bandsaw or joiner. If it is in better condition than it looks and comes with a big box of other stuff it might be a bargain, but not a bargain of the century, not even the bargain of the week around here, I bought that one last night.docmirror wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 3:50 pm Bargain of the century?

I know the square-root of nothing about the Mark V Shopsmith, so take with a huge pillar of salt. But - looks ok to me. I can go get it if anyone wants it and hold for pickup.
You are not really tuned in to hyperbole - are you? Also, would be good to review common punctuation used in closing a sentence. Says he has more bits with it, but not shown.edma194 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 4:59 pmDepends on the local prices for used machines.

I chatted with him. Not missing any 'standard components'. Comes with a drill chuck and key, sander attachment, lathe tool rest, and cutting tools, and is a low time machine from a medium small town in TX. No bearing noise. Your assessment was based on speculation, and has shown to be inaccurate.
