Thinking of buying a used shopsmith - Woodworking Talk
Feb 2, 2012 · I currently own Shopsmith Mark 5- 520 and I am in the process of upgrading it to a Mark 7. I also own Festo tools. I find the Shopsmith sturdy and reliable. The new Power Pro electronic power head really changes it, more power and torque. The reason I got rid of the table saws and radial arm saws was that I never used them as much as the Shopsmith.

May 22, 2008 · I have the first model shopsmith made the ER10 and it is well made and accurate. I bought it when I was in my early twenties and needed many tools and had a very limited budget.

Never used ShopSmith Mark V 510 - should I consider?
May 26, 2011 · IF you are squeezed on space, AND you can deal with the uh... oddities of the ShopSmith like the fact that the table tilts instead of the arbor, and the capacity issues that can sometimes arise (4" jointer, I wish my 6" was wider!), then a ShopSmith, especially one with very little use for the price being asked, is a great bargain...
