I have done some woodwork but haven't done much metal working. My car's restoration is looking like it will benefit from at least a lathe and I'm wondering about Shopsmiths. What do you people think

The shopsmith is not really accurate enough to do any of the type of machine work that would go into an auto restoration. It is good only for casual woodworking, in my opinion. I must add that mine i

Ken what are your restoring, a Morgan? That's about the only marquee that I can think of that would require a Shop Smith. A long time ago I bought what I thought was a really neat multipurpose tool m

That convinces me. I'll go back to my old policy of buying the tool I need when the task comes up and getting as good a tool as I am comfortable with buying. Thanks for the tool perspectives. Ken

It's a Lotus Europa. Most recently I thought I would have to make some replacement bits for the gear shift mechanism, but I think I have found the parts I need. You mean I can't balance the drive sh

Ken: I have not used my Shopsmith for metal, but it would probably not have the precision for significant metal work. For wood, it is fine. One big advantage to the ShopSmith is the ability to keep a

Or try a Taig Micro lathe or Sheerline. Small enough to put back on the shelf when you've finished the job but quite man enough for the misc jobs that need doing on throttle linkages, oil fittings, b

Despite the marketing perspective that you can (make) sell one device to be all things for all tasks, I agree with these guys. A "modular" tool ends up being too expensive and "sub-optimized" for mos
