I obtained my RMA # Monday and received the 20% discount before the deadline. I shipped it yesterday FedEx Ground at a cost of $82.50. $20 of that was the packing cost. I just took the tool alone to my FedEx Office locally and they packed it up for me. One benefit of using FedEx is when you buy a bo...

My belt sander owners manual (505642) says on page 50: "At any time, regardless of the age of your Shopsmith Belt Sander, you can send it to us (roundtrip shipping at owner's expense), and we'll rebuild and repaint it. We'll replace worn parts such as bearings, seals, and springs. Your recondit...

In it I have my Mark V, Shopsmith stand alone planer, a Woodsmith Design router table, work bench, and metal storage cabin...

I did a little calculation recently to see if the current prices of a new Shopsmith are still a good buy. In 1980 the retail list price of a new Shopsmith Mark V 500 was $995 and it came with a full one year no questions asked money back guarantee with Shopsmith even paying the return shipping. 37 y...
