NERemodeling Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 That thing is pretty neat! It's crazy how much more lax the safety standards were back then!!Does it do anything other than table saw? Looks like it could be a lathe and drill press also.. maybe disc sander or bench grinder also with the right attachments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoszko Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 In case anyone is interested, I found a three part series showing the different ways you can use these things. . It's not the most exciting video to watch, I skipped through it to see the configurations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Shop Smith fizzled out and was resurrected a couple times over the years. They're still around I believe. It was envisioned as a "do all tool" for the smaller garages and shops of post WWII suburbia, but the venture proved to a failure for the most part. There were some real SS lovers out there, but not enough to keep the brand afloat. It was passed around a few times and was even owned by the employees at one point, but as history has proven, tool users generally prefer specific tools for specific jobs. They still have a following, then again, so does Hitler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
