Shopsmith Forums

Hi everyone,

I am pretty excited, I just picked up a ShopSmith MkV at a garage sale yesterday for $100. It seems most things are there and everything works albeit a bit dusty.

I have been thinking of getting into woodworking for a while and this was a nice little nudge. Based on the serial number I think my machine is from the early 70's.

I was wondering if there is a part of the forum for buying/selling parts? I think there are a few bits missing for the lathe and I would like to source them.

I don't imagine I will be using the saw much as I have a nice Bosch that I use, though the drill, lathe, sander and ability to expand further are very interesting to me!

I look forward to chatting with you guys!

Welcome aboard.

Our host does not allow buying and selling on this forum.

You can get new parts from Shopsmith.

Used parts are available on Ebay, and there is a Facebook group "Shopsmith Fans Buy, Sell, and Wanted" here is the link.

Welcome!

No trading post, but we do talk about stuff available elsewhere.

First order is to lubricate as well as clean up.
