Congratulations is in order but I am jealous. Just remember -- "Make Saw Dust Safely"; it's a lot more fun that way.

Great news! Congratulations... did you get a PowerPro? I spoke to shopsmith today and they told me that there will be an upgrade kit in the near future for those with mark 5's that want the double pivot capability.

I got the new machine and I was the second on the list, I ordered it in July and these just started to ship.

I know everyone was talking about them but I did not know they were available yet. I don't see anything on them on the SS site. Anyone point me in the right direction or site.
Thanks

How did you come to know that it was available to order? If Shopsmith would just let the world know, who knows, they might sell a bunch more.

I have come to the conclusion that ShopSmith wood prefer our silence when it comes to unsolicited advice.

You are absolutely right. Shopsmith may prefer our silence when it comes to unsolicited advice. My comment was not intended as advice. It was a complaint.

I have some thoughts on this myself but I guess I got to keep them to myself. Keep my silence!!!!!

Silence? If silence is what this forum is all about you could have fooled me. I had the impression that this is where flustered woodworkers came to vent.
