yeah, well I've had a manual for the thickness planer on backorder for a long time now. So I'd say the manuals on the shopsmith site may or may not really be there. If there is an alternative source, I'm interested.

How I found this: I went to google and typed this search: spinning top site:shopsmith.net

This could of course be good news. Too many customers calling in with orders overwhelming the order desk. How much more of this success can ShopSmith take before they hire more service folks?
