Lee Bussy Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Anyone have any opinions on these? Price range for used? I found one review that seems to be on a fan site:http://shopsmith-tool-hunter.blogspot.com/2007/05/shopsmith-air-compressor.htmlI've always steered away from the "do everything" tool, but this is purpose built. For a 4" it seems solid but what do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Do you already own a ShopSmith? It seems this jointer is accessory mount for the Mark V, not a stand alone machine. If so, and your focus is small items, I guess it is fine. No need for an 8" jointer if all your projects are < 4" wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bussy Posted November 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) This is the machine ... doesn't look like it needs the "system." Maybe it does, this is why I ask here. ETA: Ah wait ... I see it behind there now. Edited November 26, 2015 by LBussy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 No experience here, but it looks like the jointer is mounted on the end of a Shopsmith. That looks like the motor behind the fence. Considering the narrow capacity & short table, it seems you'd be better off with a hand plane.

Tom King Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I was poking around CL last night, and there are all sorts of jointers on there within a couple of hundred miles of me. I didn't look in MO, but I've never seen so many around here. I wouldn't even consider that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
