Since the switch has pretty much 0 crossover to the rest of the shopsmith system, there is genuinely not a gigantic rousing power like there is on various devices. The essential benefit here is that the T-Track space would fit a shopsmith estimated miter guage...but that can be handled on various tables.

The guideline inspiration to get shopsmith switch courses of action is where you can find an overarm pin switch autonomous, especially if it has the under mount switch plan as well. In that condition you are getting some veritable worth.

Since the router has almost 0 crossover to the rest of the shopsmith system, there isn't a huge incentive like there is on other tools. The main benefit here is that the T-Track slot would fit a shopsmith sized miter guage...but that can be solved on other tables.

The main reason to get shopsmith router setups is when you can find an overarm pin router standalone, especially if it has the under mount router setup as well. In that situation you are getting some real value.
