... The fact that NO ONE copied Shopsmith kind of implies its not a good idea.

Actually there WERE Knock-offs of the Shopsmith.
Can't remember the name - but there was one that was actually fully
compatible with all the accessories, but as in MOST Chui-Clone stuff
internal parts were not interchangeable.

TotalShop?I think was the one major name.
There were 8 or 9 companies named by Shopsmith in actions
infringement.


Yes, there was a TotalShop.

There was also a SuperShop and an Iron Wood, which looks remarkably like a SuperShop.
