A smile to start the day! Thanks Farmer.

Hi guys, Peter, I'm sure Everett appreciates the effort, but alas, that's the wrong Sawsmith. The original Sawsmith was a radial arm saw. The Sawsmith 2000 was a table saw produced in the early 1990's. Everett, I feel your pain. I too have been disappointed in the past with the extremely poor copy q...

Howdy folks, In addition to woodworking, I love model trains and my MGB. Have fun, Mike C Hi Mike, Woodworking, trains, and British roadsters. A combination approaching perfection in my mind. Alas, I am down to just the first two, but fondly remember my TR4A, TR6, and a couple of "B"s fro...

Some of you have asked, so here are a few photos of what I am up to with my garden railway, The Camden and Mount Holly Railroad. Things are still very much under construction. I have a lot of work (hobby enjoyment) remaining with track, buildings, bridges, and plants, but I can run a train and a tro...

I have a grripper and like using it, along with a zero clearance insert, when ripping thin widths. It will allow you to rip do...

As already mentioned it looks like you got a great deal! As Ed indicated the routing pins are still available from Shopsmith; the thread on the pins is 10-32 if you are looking to make something other than the three pin sizes available. When installing casters on this stand the Shopsmith instruction...

Hi Crab, First of all welcome to the forum! There are a few SS 2000 owners on the forum. Some own both SS 2000 and SS Mk5’s (500, 510/520) machines. Unfortunately the SS 2000 is pretty much an orphan child with little or no support available from Shopsmith at this point in time (But I guess it never...
