Got a bargain I think.

So I decided to hunt down an older shopsmith to convert to a dedicated drill press. In my search I ran into a 500 series in need of a new speed control and new belt. Looks very clean, very little rust. $350 and it came with a jointer, beltsander, jigsaw, bandsaw, Mark v mounted planer, shaper package, molder package, drum sander pieces, and a bunch of router bits by shopsmith. As well as a few pieces I don't recognise. Overall, I think it I got a nice deal since almost all is in great condition. Now I will just have to fix that headstock.

SPTs? Sorry, can't figure this out. Lol I assume you mean accessories I guess, but Ya I figured with a planer it couldn't be passed on. Luckily my father in law wants a bunch of it should be very little out of pocket and he gets a great deal on some tools.

SPTs separate power tool, or specialty power tool, the planer sells used for about 600 on CL alone.

I have been known to call them SINGLE Purpose Tools.

No, you DID NOT get a deal!
Since you got taken, kindly ship the
bandsaw and jointer to MY location,
and YOU have to pay the postage!
Seriously, you SCORED! I'm just
messing with you! (But, I wouldn't
mind the bandsaw and jointer, if you
want to part with them. For free!
