I recently ordered an guide bushing adapter for my router on eBay. The product

Having never heard of Shop Fox, I went to their website and noticed that
they carry a wide assortment of woodworking and metalworking machines.

I'm not looking to buy, just curious if anyone knows anything about their
equipment. I looked for a local dealer and was surprised to find that
their products are supposedly carried at a fancy lumber yard in a "high end"
neighborhood as well as a place way out in the middle of farm country.





With the exception of color it is was almost exactly the same as
Grizzly. Shop fox does a lot of advertising with full page adds in
woodworking magazines. And they never advertise prices.

If you go to Grizzly's web site and do a search on Shop Fox you will see
plenty.

Yes, I did notice that they retail through many online vendors.

I guess I'm more curious as to the quality, features, etc. I don't see/hear
the name come up in this ng (or perhaps I just missed it).

What started me down this "curiosity path" was the fact that the $10 generic
router adapter on eBay listed DuroTools as the seller. I just assumed it was
a cheap Chinese knock-off. When it came in a Shop Fox package and mentioned
Woodstock International, I decided to see what other little do-dads Shop Fox
sold. I fully expected to see cheaper versions of Rockler/Woodcraft type
items. I was surprised to see they that are part of a company that sells
"big machines", not just generic accessories.
