Shopsmith Forums

Hey you guys still get email specials? I called shopsmith a few weeks back and I still haven't recieved one in about 6 months.

My Top Five Choices Are:
Dovetails on opr or joint-matic

I would love to see it. I have made halfblind dovetails with my joint-matic and the opr would do it in a s...

I haven't got emails in my inbox or junk mail from shopsmith for at least 6 months. I frequent another shopsmith forum and someone there usally post the email specials.

You probably have a 500 judging by the number. You can also tell by the size of the table and the table carriage. The carriage on a 505/510/520 has a wheel on it also. Ebay and craigslist are the places to sell these. Here are some pics of table carriages

I thought that Nick used a power station for turning in one of the sawdust sessions. I think it was pen turning. Check out http://www.shopsmithacademy.com/SS_Arch ... g_Pens.htm
