I dusted off my old 1948 Shopsmith to use as a horizontal borer, forming tenons to attach the top backs on toddler sized rockers. The bit used is for tenoning and dowel making and can be found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRDWY11C?&_encoding=UTF8&tag=dougstowe02-20&linkCode=ur2&linkId=ac13df85102cb5b4f63460e2a6090ef1&camp=1789&creative=9325 It can also be used on a drill press. The operation is shown below.
In using the Shopsmith, I noticed that it needs a new electrical cord, so today, I'll replace it, getting it ready for another 75 years of service. The Shopsmith (used) was a gift from my Mom and Dad on my 14th birthday. Give your childen iPhones and they'll need new ones next year. Give them real tools and they'll make unique futures for themselves.
