Letters from
Shopsmith Power Tool Owners
D.L. George
of Allentown, PA writes...
“When your only available shop space is 10 ft. x 10 ft., you have
no choice but to organize by hanging as much as possible on the walls...and,
of course, owning a Shopsmith MARK V! That's my solution. However, even
if I had unlimited space, the MARK V would still be the central part of
my shop.
I grew up in the sawdust of an uncle...a professional cabinetmaker who has a large shop with excellent power tools. I occasionally remind him of all the clever things I can do with my MARK V that he just can't do...even with all of his sophisticated equipment.
Like any handyman grandpa, I enjoy making toys for my five grandchildren. The Shopsmith Woodworking System is ideal for this purpose. Thanks for adding so much to my joy of accomplishment!”
North Carolina retiree can't say enough about his MARK V
Charles L.
of Spring Lake, NC writes...
“I'm a proud Shopsmith MARK V owner and find your machinery to be
outstanding and of the highest quality. Since I purchased mine in 1980,
it has paid for itself and more. I feel that the MARK V is great for the
beginner as well as for the experienced carpenter...and to be fair to
the opposite sex, ladies can operate the MARK V with ease.
I'm 67 years old and have worked with many woodworking tools in my life...but have never experienced the finest...until now! Many thanks for the finest piece of machinery that I've had the pleasure to own and operate.”
Pennsylvania woman says her MARK is like a member of the family
Donna H. of
Pittsburgh, PA writes...
“Having a Shopsmith MARK V had been a dream for us for almost ten
years when, almost two years ago, we finally took the plunge. Since
then, our MARK V has been at the heart of almost every aspect of our remodeling
venture by aiding in the production of two beautiful and functional storm
windows, animal cages (both elaborate and practical) and several picture
frames.
The most impressive results we experienced occurred while working with real wood paneling. Needless to say, great care was taken not to make bad cuts due to the cost of these materials. Well, we're delighted to report that the MARK V performed like a champ. In fact, due to the precision cutting job accomplished with this wonder-of-wonders, we were able to save two sheets of this expensive paneling.
Our MARK V is an integral part of our lives - and practically a member of the family! It's very gratifying to know that there are still first-class companies that produce top-quality equipment and maintain respect for their customers!”
