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

I have a MarkV that I bought with my first paycheck in '82. I was living at an apartment and stored it in a friend's garage where it lived for almost a year. I told him he was free to use it but I think he wasn't comfortable with messing around with someone else's stuff. I no longer use the table saw feature - it is my only drill press, disc sander, or lathe.
