Granted, a combination machine can't do all the things that separate
ones can.  But for a small shop, you get a lot of flexibility without taking
up too much space.  And the price is probably less than what you would pay
for all the machines individually.

I just bought a Shopsmith and so far am VERY PLEASED with it.  I was
impressed by the precision of the machine and also all the safety features
provided.  I'm still just learning how to use the various things, so can't
comment much from experience.  The documentation, however, is EXCELLENT--
lavishly illustrated with lots of detail.  If you buy it from a demo
(at a mall, etc.), you save about $150 off their $1200 direct-order price.
