Use feeler gauges to set the bar distance from the belt plate

I'm sure there are plenty of lovers of this thing. I'm on board right up until the table saw! Something about that saw setup seems very unsafe vs. a contractor saw, or anything bigger. Not trolling, just seeing this as 1940's tech and enthusiasts who insist on using it still. Built like a tank for sure. And proud to see American Made still appreciated. Let's just be sure we aren't inviting new folks into the hobby to get hurt via the complexities of setup of this beast.

There were so many "start" and "download" buttons on the page, be careful with what you download. The name was Let's compress or something. so i didn't install that one, the one in the blue "download to pc" is called Inkscape Setup.

Where can I get parts for these I have one and where the air line is it’s cracked and probably needs some new gaskets and a good cleaning

My takeaway from this video is that it is probably better to buy a better quality iron from elsewhere (unless your $$ are worth more than your time by a long way).

Shop Smith

can you show how and what these clamps be used for?

Buy worx nitro those are the big boy tools

So you DO regret buying the Rockler one?

This was so very helpful!!! Thanks for making this video and sharing your practical and useful woodshop nerdery!

Please do something about the sound quality

It's also important to flatten the face of the frog as if not flat, it can distort the front edge of the blade such that it is not as you think.

that preasure washer which is small is great deal for washing car. now have you tryed to connect normal preasure washer? how long it takes to unwind hoses wires to prep all yes it will have power etc, but than you need to put evrything beck and after using twice you already washing car in car wash :D this small tool is you stick garden hose and go wash a car end up work pop hose out and your done. get real wwe use this tool only for car wash

I love the sound of a plane sheering through wood

One slight gripe: four inches of movement is on the low side for a drill press. Not a deal-breaker, just a little annoying.

for hobbyists, Fusion360 is free...

Someone critizing a tool here by using it on a WOBBLY bench?

WOW - This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Thank you!!!!!!!!!! SOOOO GOOD!!!!!

Millimeters or an inch based on 10s as found on an engineer's ruler are more accurate than an inch based on 16ths. The former are a LOT easier to work with and to achieve a greater accuracy when cutting pieces.

Are you getting any snipe?

Thank you. Truth!

I am not very experienced with computers and have traditionally done my design work using pencil and paper. I would like to upgrade to drawing on the computer. It appeared to me your tutorial outlined how to create a view from one angle, which was impressive to me on its own. I envision creating a 3D model of a 2x4 piece of lumber. My goal is to be able to rotate, twist, and view this 3D lumber piece from different angles. Ideally, I would also be able to create and assemble all the 3D lumber pieces for my project, and then manipulate the view of the complete assembled model. Hopefully, I explained that, so it makes sense. Can I do that in Inkscape? Thanks in advance for your input.

John Malarkey is an idiot. KZbin still recommends his videos to me. It looks like he's devolved to buying TEMU tools and 1-star Amazon tools and reviewing them. He's a mouth-breather.

I completely agree. The reason these are all over marketplace for so cheap is because the users died but the machine didnt. I can yank the tarp off of a 50 year old shopsmith, do a little work and run it for $250. My alternative would be a $25 craftsman table saw that also would need work and isn't a comparable device. Why are the craftsman so cheap if they are so good? (A lot of them are fine obviously) Tool pricing and availability is so disingenuous and anyone who knows anything knows that. I can't recall if it was you or Mark who, rather cheekily called it a "thinking man's machine".

A question and a comment. I have a 10-ER and a Model 510 and use a foot switch for lathe work. Is there any way to do the same on a PowerPro? Comment: thanks for the bit on the under-table configuration. I realize there are a couple abilities of my old machines that I haven't discovered yet.

Great video! I am starting my collection of Worx products myself due to the 20v batteries fitting most of their products. I really appreciate your assessment of those you have. You showed some that I was unaware of so think you. Keep up the good work.

Tom, this is such a great video that I just had to remove my “like” and re-like it! So well done.

if I had these types of irons, I would do the ruler trick. Im personaly not spending 4 hours on a blade

What was the software you used to do your drawing?

Ahhh, I posted a video today asking what the bit was....and wallah! You answered. It is for cutting tongues. KZbin is great......and so was your video. tHanks for posting. (unlike my videos...which are lame....on their best days )

$5295 is a relatively high price . JMO

Just a suggestion: any cheap "touchscreen stylus" will let you use a capacitive touchscreen without relying on your fingers. Buy one and hang it from the machine on a little leash and you'll never have to worry about it (or need to take your gloves off).

Sorry to hear you shut the channel down.

I liked your video a lot. I recently got a shopsmith model 510 from my father in law. I learned some more watching your video. I do have some questions though. When setting up the shopsmith for a 45degree bevel cut I can get the blade centered in the area on the table. I found if I remove the rubber on the tube I can but I’m not sure I’m supposed to do it that way.

I’m gonna miss you! I just came across your channel and as a Shopsmith owner, I really enjoyed what I have seen so far. Thank You.

Excellent demonstration of “some” of the advantages of the movable motor and quill. Thank You!

How can I clamp anything to the old Mark 5 aluminum drill press table (TS table)? It has no hoes nor T slots.

Switch driver never seen that before.

If you get the locking key it should work. There is a notch in the red plastic that the key will engage when pushed and rotated. Part #513411 $6.95 available from Shopsmith now.

I am a fan of Shopsmith but the weight and set up for their planer is more than I want to deal with. I like their bandsaw, jointer, drill press & sanding tools. The planer & table saw are not on my love it list.

Your patience is so much better than mine. Lol. I’m not a complete nut, but you know. I am a red head. Ha! Anyway, glad they took care of the problem for you. I feel they should’ve offered free shipping both ways for you though. Fake drama….that ain’t no joke either. Good on ya. Nice video.

It’s being picky when you pay for made in America quality but get Chinese blemishes. They would be sending me replacement parts not to mention the long allen key. Hopefully they have implemented some quality control since your video. Love your videos and Scott’s from MGR.

Now the shopsmith has a jig for that. Nice but pricey.

Using the knuckles of your hand instead of your finger pads solves Zombie fingers!

Price is never a consideration for me when buying something I will have for 40 years.

Shame you are signing off, COME BACK...your analysis of woodworking content on youtube is spot on, its all commercials and sponsors, homogenized garbage, its not relatable or fun to watch, I prefer avg joe doing projects to top of the line equipment full of sponsors etc etc

My Zyliss Z-vise just arrived a week ago! I got one that came with the carry case. Expensive- but no, it’s worth every penny and after seeing how you’re using yours, I’m considering keeping on the lookout for another since they are so very versatile. You can even use them as a pipe clamp if you have a 3/4 inch pipe, I think! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Sir.🎉

What brand/type riving knife did you replace the shopsmith one with?

PS I forgot the Arrow Cart along with the Wagon wheels attachment 😃😃😃
