I have one.
Bought it a year ago today, but spent much less than they're asking now.
I guess they ironed some kinks out in the interim.
I've modified mine a bit. The "dynamic diameter adjustment" was too slow
for me, so I attached a couple of motors with pulleys on each rosewood
handle, powered from a foot switch. Unfortunately each time I hit that
foot switch, the lights dim. I may have overspecced those motors a tad.
With those motors attached, getting the irons out was a problem until I
attached the "SpokeSharp" (CDN patent pending) that I've designed for
hard to reach sharp things. It's somewhat like a Tormek, but attached to
the blade holders. Works like a charm but I can't sharpen and
dynamically adjust the diameter simultaneously.
Those two mods have kept me busy most of the winter. Once they were
perfected, I was making tenons faster than I could spit, but the chip
generation was horrific. Time to modify once again.
Bought one of them Festool circ. saws and ripped out the connection for
the vac. attachment, and hooked it up to the spokeshave. I tossed the
saw. Heard it was made somewhere foreign. The other end I attached to my
SooperVac®, and turned it on. On the first try, I lost one of my
SpokeSharp motors. A couple of 3/8" bolts fixed that up right quick.
BTW, the finished product is just going into production now. List price
is $1,499.93, but there is a 20% discount to Wreckers. Oh, plus
shipping. Normal rates apply. Sales tax where applicable. Void where
prohibited. Not available in Canada.
I'd order early and order often. The production run is limited.
