Can't help you with the canadian saw issue but.... I will tell you that if you decided to get the upgrade for your shopsmith it makes into a total new saw... I've done it twice and couldn't be happier.
If you have not done so yet go to:
www.ssug.org
That group is a lot like this one and you can look up what some others have said about their experence with the upgrade. Besides the larger table and the very much improved fence you can now make some other additions to give you support for much larger work pieces. You can check this picture out with extra support behind the table:

Anyway please think about this option and join us at the other site with questions or comments. BTW pictured is my 1976 shopsmith with the upgrade kit and an extension table brackets. (Some time next month it turns 30 it has more then paid for itself over the years even after adding all the extras I have.)
