Yup, I have the do-it-yourself spindle shaper kit. I/2” arbor, and lots of Corob bits. My first lunchbox 12” thickness planer was an AMT, shipped in for $179, approx. 1985. Wish I’d bought every one of their bronze planes, affordable in those pre-Lie-Nielsen days! Loved the catalogs, these people were so nice the way they presented their offerings in such a folksy manner. -- Einstein: "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant.

I have an AMT benchtop drill press I bought about 25 years ago. It has been great and has a 3/4 hp motor. I don’t like the depth stop, but otherwise have no complaints. I’ve looked over the years at replacing it with a newer model with a better depth stop, but can’t find a decent benchtop drill press with a 3/4 hp motor other than a Grizzly, which seems overpriced to me. |

I use to get their flyers. No purchases. -- Cau Haus Designs, Thomas J. Tieffenbacher |

I have just received an AMT scroll saw from my dad that was my grandfathers. The only semi-complaint that I have is that it takes 6” blades (a few broken blades until I realized). I am going to try a little modification to accept 5”ers. I would like the variety and lower cost. I love the feel of older solid machines. |
