So I was one of several woodworkers (I suppose) who at one time or another owned a ShopSmith Mark V multi-component work station. Mine included a table saw, drill press, horizontal boring machine, lathe, band saw, jointer, and disc sander. They were well built with a very powerful motor and saved on quite a bit of shop space. But, it just seemed annoying to have to go through the motions of changing the configuration to get each facet available to me, ... although the process was quite easy. I abandoned the machine after about one year of frustration, but I am happy for it.

Who else owned one of these, and what were your experiences.
