Shopsmith Forums

A seller on eBay has copied three of the Shopsmith Manuals to PDF's and is currently selling them on CD's. The sellers name is best-repair-manuals and is violating Shopsmith copyrights by making a profit selling these Manuals. I know there is a lot of copies of the older Manuals for Shopsmith Tools out there including the ones linked through this forum but they are not being sold for a profit. They have been preserved as historical documents and pertain to the much older Shopsmith Tools. Most are not available through Shopsmith anymore although they do have copied manuals of historical sets i.e. the Model 10's. As I have said before DO NOT BUY copies of Shopsmith Manuals from online sellers just looking to make a profit. In most cases they are available for free. If you want to have an original Manual for any Shopsmith Tool you own by all means buy one, just read the fine print to make sure it is not a copy.

I will now step down off my "soapbox."
