Shopsmith Forums

Has anyone here ever seen one of the fully outfitted Delta Shop? I see the table saw and jointer combo on Facebook market place from time to time, but I have never seen one with all of the attachments. The following gives a detailed description to The Delta Shop.

If you have experience with the tool, how functional is the drill press, and sander? The saw and jointer are set-up similar to how I use my ShopSmith when I am dimensioning lumber for a piece of furniture.

Thanks

My head wobbles at the thought. Sure, combine a table saw and joiner, nothing new there. But look at the description of the drill press: "... Drill Press is hinged on the right end of the saw table, and when needed it is lifted up and the belt is fished-down through the saw insert and around a pulley which takes the place of the saw blade."

The inventor was obviously no Hans Goldschmidt!

Unlike the Shopsmith Model 10ER it was competing with at the time you could buy individual part functions one at a time much like Shopsmith is now doing. When complete the Delta Shop cost more for those 4 functions than the Shopsmith Model 10ER. What about the Lathe Delta? Multiple tool functions on a single stand were not new when the Shopsmith Model 10E was introduced but Hans did it much better than others. A true combination tool and not tools simply sharing a single motor.

Let's not forget the Magna Line Tools.
