Shopsmith Forums

This is a heads up for an article on the Popular Woodworking Magazine Website that gives a real good story on the new Mark VII and the PowerPro Upgrade.
Makes me feel good whenever I see something like this about our SS.

Most tool reviews in woodworking magazines rate how well the machines perform at different tasks. This "review" wasn't a review at all. It just explains what the machine's capabilities are in different modes.

I was quite disappointed. The article clearly shows the writer's bias against the Shopsmith. His "... I look at it as a possible second set of machines for the shop." comment tells how he thinks - the SS isn't a primary tool for the shop - just a "second" or "backup" machine.
