Real Letters from
Shopsmith Power Tool Owners

New Jersey retiree has been glad he bought his
MARK V since 1956!

Harry P. of Lawrenceville, NJ writes...
“I have owned my MARV V since 1956 and have made a number of pieces of furniture with it. It is a most useful piece of machinery. It's true that with it and some accessories, you need nothing more to do almost any kind of woodworking. I'm sure glad I bought mine in 1956.

San Diego woodworker refusese to part with his 10-ER

P. Jones writes...
“I've been the proud owner of a Shopsmith 10-ER since 1948. It's given me wonderful service and is now an indispensable member of the shop power tools I use. Years ago, I visited a demonstration to get a look at the Shopsmith MARK V and found it much improved. If my current unit gives out on me, I shall have my order in for a new one immediately, as I couldn't operate without my Shopsmith. There's just no other tool that can do what it can do!

Wisconsin man feels the MARK V is the “perfect” tool for seniors

Art K. of Racine, WI writes...
“The Shopsmith MARK V is a remarkable machine. It certainly does exactly what your literature says it will do. In fact, the very first time I used it last week, I mad a toy box for my little grandson that put the marketable one to shame, when you consider that it cost me about half what the store-bought model was. I made mine with 3/4" plywood vs. 1/2" or 1/4" plywood, stapled and unassembled!

More and more every year, people are retiring at an earlier age, and the need for productive pastime hobbies is so vital. I would suggest that you solicit the senior age group in whatever way possible. It might surprise you the business available from this class of user. You have an excellent machine - good luck.”
