Total Machine Renewal
Experience Performance Reimagined
What's New in Repair Service?
We know your time is best spent making sawdust, not waiting for an estimate on a repair. By shifting from individual part fixes to flat rate complete system renewals, we are streamlining our process to get your equipment back to you faster than ever—and in better-than-ever condition.
Why the change? A single repair often misses aging secondary parts. Our Renewal Program eliminates the "return-trip" headache by bringing every mechanical aspect of your machine back to factory standards in one go.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why can’t I just get one specific part repaired anymore? A: We’ve found that when one part fails, other wear items (like bearings and belts) are usually close behind. By performing a total ShopSmith Renewal, we eliminate the "domino effect" of aging parts, saving you the time and shipping costs of multiple repair trips. It’s the best way to ensure your machine is truly shop-ready.
Q: Does the Renewal include cosmetic parts? A: Our Renewal Program focuses on mechanical excellence—the "guts" of your machine. Aesthetic parts like knobs, handles, and covers are not included in the flat renewal rate. However, if these parts are damaged or missing when your machine arrives, we can replace them for an additional charge to get your machine looking as good as it runs. It is better to remove these at home before sending the machine to avoid damage in shipment
Q: How much faster is the Renewal process? A: Because we are now performing standardized, comprehensive renewals rather than custom diagnostic repairs, our turnaround time has improved significantly. Most machines are back on their way to your shop much faster than under the old repair model.
Q: What if my PowerPro 1 screen is broken? A: Since the PowerPro 1 is no longer supported with original replacement screens, we will automatically upgrade your system to the PowerPro 2 interface during the renewal. This ensures your machine stays compatible with the latest ShopSmith technology and software.
Q: Is there a warranty on the renewal? A: Absolutely. Every machine that undergoes our Renewal Program comes with a 1-year factory warranty, giving you total peace of mind for your next thousands of hours of woodworking.
Q: Which machines are eligible? A: We currently offer renewals for all ShopSmith Headstocks with the exception of models before the 1960s, Belt Sanders, Band Saws, Strip Sanders, Jointers, and Dust Collectors.
Here's What You Can Do With Your New Bandsaw - Our #1 Special Purpose Tool!
Although bandsaws were originally developed to make curved cuts, it didn't take long before users realized that it offered a number of great, straight-line cutting advantages, as well. For example, not many table saws (commercial or otherwise) will cut stock up to 6" thick, or cut metal. Here are a few of the jobs your Shopsmith bandsaw is well-suited to tackle:
Cut Tight Or Sweeping Curves - No home shop saw will cut faster than a bandsaw, and with Shopsmith's generous-sized support table and full range of 1/8" to 5/8" wide blades, you'll have just what you need to cut simple or intricate curves in wood plastic, and non-ferrous metals.
Make Compound Cuts to Create 3-D Objects - Curved table legs are often created by first cutting the required curves on the two opposing faces of a board - taping the scrap back into position - then rotating the board 90° and repeating the process.
Quickly Cut Woods Up To 6" Thick - Whether straight or curved, the bandsaw is your best choice for cutting thick woods other saws just can't handle.
Resaw Thin Boards From Thick Ones - Sometimes, you need wood that's thinner than the "standards" for special projects. Armed with a bandsaw and a 1/2" or 5/8" resawing blade, you can stand boards up to 6" wide on edge and slice thick boards into thinner ones, just like the lumber yards.
Pad-Saw Multiple Items Simultaneously - Need four identical bracket feet for a small clock or box? Use double-stick tape to create a stack of boards of identical thicknesses (up to 6" total) and saw them all at once, then separate.
Cut Metals, Plastics & Other Materials - When making straight or curved cuts in non-ferrous metals (up to 1/4" thick), plastics, rubber and other materials, no other home shop saw will out-perform the bandsaw.
