I own and like my used 1993 Mark V. Actually I like the belt sander on the accessory stand the most! I have always been lulled by the shopsmith for some reason. The sawdust academy videos are great. Would really like a SS pin router setup!

A few weeks back I got to tour the Shopsmith Factory? The inventor of the shopsmith in the 1940's made equipment to manufacture the tool from the 10er it self. They are still in use today on the factory floor.
Shopsmith is a small company. Only like 20 some employees. Very dedicated employees fighting to keep a great American tool alive.
I called once to check on my order of a belt sander. Gail (the lady that answers the phone) said ,without looking on the computer or anything, Oh yes. I saw it sitting on the dock waiting on FedEx to pick up. With just my name she knew the order and what was going on with it. Refreshing in today world. Shopsmith is a class act.

I think this one is a 1952. It's a 10er in pretty darn good shape.

A gentleman named Skip Campbell from Texas runs the yahoo 10ER group. Unless his health has gottem away from him he usually welcomes every new member personally.
He's the most knowledgeable and generous person I've come across. he helpedme fix several Shopsmiths back in the day I was seling them on Ebay. Sold around 40 of them before I called it quits.

Hey Brian,
The reason Andy got on the Yahoo Shopsmith group and you didn't is 'cause his pix is more handsome.

Now, don't pick on that avatar. That's my daughter!
Nah, not really, my daughter looks a little more like a monkey than an orangutan.
