Is the smith machine a good machine?

IM Official FAQ - Forums
Unless you know exactly what you're doing, machines in general are a very bad option. The smith machine is no exception. Generally, you should stick to free weights as much as possible. Cables and such are a secondary option and machines and other fixed movement patterns shouldn't be used at all, if you don't know exactly what you're doing.

ProSpot Fitness - Frequently Asked Questions
Not even close! Smith machines ‘track’ the barbell in a single plane, with no side-to-side or front-and-back movement. This forces you to workout with an unnatural lifting movement and limits the type of exercises that you can do on a smith machine. Also, locking the bar on a smith machine is not an automatic operation, you have to do it manually. ProSpot Fitness free-weight systems allow you to use a barbell unrestricted by sliding tracks or any other conventional constraints.

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Okay, the marks look about right for one revolution. Now run the machine for a while, allowing the workpiece to rotate a number of times. You should see the cutter marks tracking in exactly the same place on the gear as the gear makes complete revolutions. Again, the width of cutter marks should not be getting wider.

Guide to Novice Barbell Training, aka the Official RIPPETOE-...
Machines of any sort are not used in this program. The basic fundamentals of balance are not learned on machines, the overall neural response is lesser, and the muscular stimulation is ultimately less. More advanced trainees can and probably should incorporate useful machines into their training for various reasons. Machines have no place in the training of a novice, however. If you've already been defeated by the barbells, then don't bother with this program.

Q: My machine pulls a vacuum, but it's not a very good one. Why not?

vacuum sealers - SorbentSystems.com
A: For the best airtight seal, make sure that the item you are sealing inside the bag is as close (***Very important!!!***) to the vacuum nozzle (the silver tube that fits inside the bag) as possible. When the item is too far away from the nozzle, the plastic collapses in front of the tube and the machine's sensor tells the machine, that a vacuum has been achieved.

Which Machine is Best?

FAQ for MIND-L
I realize that this is the most important question in the world to someone who's thinking about plunking down somewhere between $100 and $6000 for a new tool or toy. But I hope that you realize the following: Someone who has spent a lot of money on a product has a strong personal incentive to convince himself that his machine is very cool. If he does, then that's what he'll tell you, too. Nobody but a handful of dealers has had experience with all of them.

What about machine guns?

FAQ's
This is not a major concern of mine, but I did a quick search of the archives of the BYOAC message board. This is where a solution is most likely to appear if someone figures this out. Actually, these can be interfaced. The machine guns (Operation Wolf, Operation Thunderbolt, T2, etc.) are actually just an analog joystick, so the same type of conversion that you would do for the original Star Wars yoke should work for these also.

Students who will be living in one of WVU's residence halls cannot receive mail until they are established in the dorm.
