Shopsmith Forums

Despite the seller's claim, it certainly isn't a Shopsmith, although the table and tubes look like they might have come from one.

No clue, but wonder the vintage.

There is one (less complete) listed on Vintage Machinery, but they don't have a manufacturers name either.

Oh, wow, the "tubes" aren't tubes at all but diamond-shaped in profile.

I would call it square tubes.

How about square bar stock.

Look hollow to me.

After further revue and always, you are correct.

A square turned 90* is a diamond. At least I would say that as did Al.

A square turned 90 degrees, is still a square.
Both will have a flat top, bottom and sides.

Now, turn the square 45 degrees, and it will
(still being a square) have points on top,
bottom and sides. You could call that a
diamond. I however, consider a diamond
to not have 90 degree corners. I'm thinking
60 and 120 degrees.

But, we're splitting hairs here, when not
picking nits!

Oh, just found this, for whoever said tubing
can't be square, and there are MANY more
companies selling stuff like this.
