Shopsmith for the win

I'm very happy with it, especially the space saving aspect.

Shopsmith lathe

[–] FauxPseudo 3 points 9 months ago

That's why I have one. Well two. One is for spare parts. I mostly use the lathe, bandsaw and jointer. I'm working out of a one car garage so this saves a lot of space. But the table saw is way too unsafe so I got a dedicated one.

I also have a standalone Shopsmith Pro Power Planer that I abuse.
