OH ya! The bandsaw works beautifully, it's amazing, so simple, and preset and calibrated, very few moving parts, the genius is in the simplicity of the BS.

The jointer planer attachment, same, works fine, it's a little noisy but I think I just have to sharpen the blades and it'll quiet down.

Sounds like you like it. 

Still a bit to new for me.

That's why you need an old ER Larry! I bet you'd have a blast restoring one of these. https://ventura.craigslist.org/tls/d/shopsmith-10er-and-shop-smith/6687506034.html

I could have got one like that complete with all attachments for $500.00 awhile back.

It was all original and ran&looked perfect.

Hey John,

They do have one thing going for them. 

 

 

The TS is a Tilty! 

An MK V is old enough for me. The only tools I restore are pencils.  

@John Morris, William Ng has the best video I've seen for sharpening jointer blades.

I had one of these doohickeys that worked pretty good. I gave it to the guy that I gave the Sears jointer to.

Vee haff vays around dat.

I decided to take some pictures of my shop to show my shop and when I came in and posted them I saw in one of the pictures a box that had a project I started a year or so ago and then forgot about posting anything for I went out and started on that project again.

  But then when I reread this original post by John no one was showing their shops for he was talking about other things so I didn't miss out on the shops thingy..

You show me yours and, I'll show you mine. 

Seriously, Jesse. We'd love to see your shop. And, I'll get some pics of mine...after cleanup is finished.

John, & Gene,

 

I like the fact that it's a single motor machine.

And I'm sure change overs are not so bad.  

But you still have to do them.

Vee also haff vays of combining machines and running them from a single motor. 

 

But Vee are not going to tell you now.   You'll have to wait for an upcoming Old Machinery post.

Larry, don't upload anymore GIF's, it's taxing our resources. Please shoot me a file full of the GIF's you'd like to have here, and I can load them up in our emoticon menu. Thanks!

Click the "Insert other media" bar at the lower right. Click "Insert existing attachment"

It will take you to a page of all the photos, etc. that you have uploaded by inserting into your posts.
