I've created an Amazon list of many of the tools that I have found to be indispensable in my shop. http://a.co/0GLhuR2 You may have to click the "Filter" link to show the items in the list. I suggest sorting them by priority.

A few accessories can be used on the Shopsmith stip sander:
Here are a couple 42" leather strops that can be purchased from Amazon: https://amzn.to/3t3zNSZ https://amzn.to/2OErYo9 and this set includes ceramic abrasive belts and a leather strop: https://amzn.to/3vcPauv
25 belt assortment of aluminum oxide sanding belts for woodworking (5 Each of 80 120 150 240 400 Grits): https://amzn.to/3byZC7Q
Here's my preferred abrasive cleaning stick: https://amzn.to/3loB0UB The one I found at Harbor Freight was a disappointment.
