This baby is a woodworker’s dream come true. Total cost is less than buying each individual tool and piece of equipment. (You definitely have to go through the process of converting from one tool to the next a couple times before it goes smoothly.) The space it requires is minimal and you can wheel it out of the way when not in use. With a couple of adjustments, it transitions from one woodworking tool to another with “relative” ease. Variable speeds for each accessory is an added bonus (VERY nice for the sander option). It’s a drill press (outstanding feature), horizontal drill, table saw (not quite as outstanding), wood lathe and sander. But, like most families, it’s got a few “issues” too. The Shopsmith DOES ALMOST ANYTHING YOU CAN ASK OF IT (without getting naughty). If you are a woodworker – nay, if you even rarely work with wood, you must have this in your woodshop. Ahhh…the Shopsmith Mark V! It will make you sweat just to behold it. ![]() ![]() Ladies and gentlemen: I almost don’t have the words to describe the beauty of this piece of machinery.
