Went garage saling and found an old Shopsmith. I know, I know... but it was a bargain. For $75 I got a (1956) model with the standard attachements and a jointer attachment. My thoughts are to sell the jointer attachment and essentially end up with a so-so lathe, disc sander, and horiz. borer for FREE... Won't use the saw or drill press- already have. Unit is missing the headstock spur center and one handle, but came with 3 saw arbors(sell), and lathe tools!
All I was looking for was a sander- glad I went. Anyone else use an old Shopsmith for alternate machines???
