I made a similar jig for my router table JessEm stock guides. I couldn't see paying another $250 for the table saw version when I can share the one I have for the router table. The downside is the wheels don't extend out as far for the router table guides but like you I also have the board buddies w...

I think most of the problems stem from Shopsmith refusing to carry any PowerPro parts inventory. Everytime they get a order or someone has a PP problem things have to go through New Zealand.

I bought one earlier this year and returned it. The runout measured over 10 thousands, its big and heavy with no redeeming values as far as I am concerned. One of the worst things Shopsmith has come up with. Wow. 10 thou is absolutely unacceptable, imho. Were you able to confirm the problem was act...

It seems the joint tech has a sibling! I agree with Buckeye on all counts. Implied but not mentioned is the effect vertical movement of the workpiece has on the result. When 'trapped'(between the cutter and the table) the cutter will gouge. When 'free' above, a high spot is created that can be remo...

I have cut many tenons that way and it works fine. Just do not take a deep cut. However, it seems that you are talking about cutting stiles and rails for a raised panel door. Quite a different game.

I looked at the the Shopsmith Power Tool Workwor...

I have found this to be a better option if you have a PowerPro or Speed Increaser.

I have checked the one out we have here locally. Very well equipped and the price I think is fair. If I did not have the space for a shop at home it would be a no brainer, but the convenience of walking a few steps instead of fighting traffic, finding a parking place and pre-scheduling your time on ...

I have used this for some time to tram my milling machine. Works great and you could probably build one with a couple of inexpensive indicators.
