I have a Shopsmith I am looking to sell if you are still looking for

If they were such a "wonderful idea", someone would probably still me
making them.

Somebody is.

Actually, its seems like a pretty good product for Festool to get
involved with.

All in ones are a PIA.

All in ones invariably find you needing the other setup without
changing this one, to 'fix' something.

And it's impossible to get the thing set up for the first operation
exactly the same way. I worked for a guy that had one. He was always
running up against this problem. OTOH, he lived in a trailer and
there wasn't a lot of extra room. He'd never own one, if he had any
other option.

House mate was storing one, I got to use it. Drag it out, set it
up, tweak it, tweak it some more, run it.
Really keen, but if I could have afforded better, I'd get it too.

RIght now, I don't have the room to store it, let alone use it. (I
don't have the space to store a whole lot of things I wish I had. Band
saw for one.)
