Coat the cover with rubberized auto body undercoat. Works wonders.

I turned mine in to a dedicated sanding station. I can use the saw if I want but to be honest, I never liked the shop smith table saw.

I have recently purchased some of Dewalt's new 60v max tools. They are fantastic. So I'm looking at my Power Sta...

My biggest complaint with Shopsmith is their use of terrible structural materials. But don't worry about the dent. You can swap it out with some polished tube from a steel yard

(Professional Machinist's 2 Cents Here) Go grab yourself a set of Torx bits. Also called 'star' bits. Usually you can find cheap sets with a cheap driver at the hardware store.
