re: How many Shop Smith users do we have around here.

I have a 73' Model 500, that my father purchased when I was a kid. Most of the use is either with the lathe or drilling, I really like the horizontal drilling setup with this machine. I have additional accessories for the lathe, along with a shaper and router attachments. I have replaced a few of the parts in the motor and it still runs like it did many years ago.
