Default Shopsmith pricing

Hi Aw

Don't mind you asking at all. I've done everything from building two shops,
well, one and a major rebuild of another, to building jewelry boxes,
cradles, and turning pens on mine and accuracy was never a problem nor, once
you get used to it is, set ups. Even the most radical reconfiguration
doesn't take me more then a minute, two at the most.

As with any multi function machine there are compromises made, but Shopsmith
didn't make them in quality or ability to do fine woodworking. The ones that
were made, notably the size of the table when in the saw function mode, can
be worked around easily enough with a sled but most of the time even that
isn't necessary..

Take care.

Hey Mike,

If you don't mind me asking, what is the accuracy like? It's one thing to
be able to change from one use to another, but what about tuning it after
the change over.

I've never owned one, not looking to buy one, but always wondered how well
things were set up (square fences/blade, runout etc...)


Cheers,

Aw
