Smith machines are about 15 pounds, and free bars are usually 45. so just subtract 30 pounds from your max on the smith, and that's your free bar max. this isn't complicated.

It just makes stabilization easier. From the fixed path. Nothing to do with the weight.

There's a sticker that's tells you how much the starting resistance is, usually 20-25 lbs

Weight≠weight apparently

Obviously it’s going to do that with no weight on it

unless that's an anti-gravity smith machine it doesn't matter. 100kg is still going to weigh 100kg on that bar

Your max on smith machine is different from max on bench and that’s common sense and totally okay

Agreed counter weighted smiths are not ideal at all , the one where I go has no counter weights or cables , still easier than free bar as it’s fixed path , but not a bad one as far as smiths machines go

There’s resistance which slows it down but the weight is still the same when it stops
