Any shopsmith users out there?
I'm interested in purchasing one (used) and was wondering if there is
anything I should look out for?
Do they retain dimensional accuracy well?
Do they hold their accuracy over time?
How much of a pain in the butt is tool changeover?
Anything I should consider when looking to purchase one?
Any help would be appreciated.
My main reason for purchasing one is due to limited space for my shop.

I have one for sale with just about every gadget that you can
fit on one. But local pickup only - where are you? I'm in NY,
Westchester county.

Although the base unit is a replacement for the original, the jointer
is about fifty years old and still works well. Changeover isn't a big
deal, but you only want to do one transform per project. Saw to drill
press to lathe to bandsaw is ok, but if you have to do that five times
a day, you're going to be irritated.
