An important point for me is that after heavy use the accuracy of cuts and general alignment of the parts is excellent. Cheap workmanship drives me nuts! I agree that the Shopsmith accessories run 10-15% high but I have found the quality at least matches that. I dont give a damn that Sears will replace a cheap piece of ----! An initial investment of $900+ is high but at least you get it over with. I'll disintegrate before it does. Worth consideration at least.
