MARK V Model 500 to 520 Pro Fence and Table System Upgrade

 

Shopsmith's Pro Fence & Table System Upgrade is the best way for you to equip your older Model 500 MARK V with the latest in 21st century features and capabilities. Armed with this state-of-the-art fence system, you'll be able to tackle all of your projects with improved convenience, precision and safety.

Your upgrade starts with an expanded table system that includes a larger Worktable and Extension Table with two Floating Support Tables and a pair of Telescoping Support Legs. Put tit all together and you'll have over eight feet of table width for crosscutting even the longest boards!

To this, it adds the heavy-duty, factory-aligned Shopsmith Pro Fence with four T-Slots…two on the top and one on each face…for attaching jigs, fixtures and aids, such as our: Rip Fence Mounted Featherboard; T-Track Utility Light Kit; Flip-Up Rip Fence Stop; or any shop-made jig or fixture you might build that mounteds to the Fence sides or top using our Sliding T-Nuts).

The Pro Fence & Table System Upgrade Kit includes:

  • Larger Table with big 17-1/2" x 22" work surface. More support for ripping 4' x 8' plywood sheets and crosscutting even the longest boards.
  • Pro Fence is 24-1/2" long by 2-1/2" thick with a double T-Slot track on the top surface plus another T-Slot on each side for attaching accessories, jigs and fixtures. Two Levers lock it rigidly to the front and rear of the Main or Extension Table with a quick flip. It also includes a wider Fence Straddler.
  • New Table Carriage with dual Tilt Locks at the front and rear of the Table and a widened tube stance for added stability. Quarter-turn Hand Wheel and Lock move the table up and down - then secure it where you want it.
  • Direct-Reading Rip Fence Scales let you read and instantly set the width of rip cuts up to 38-1/2" wide. Includes two interchangeable stainless steel Scales that are graduated in both 1/16" and 1/32" increments.
  • Two Floating Extension Tables slide on Connecting Tubes and lock any-where between the Main Table and the end Extension Table.
  • Four 27" Connecting Tubes slip through the Rails and tie the System together with locking Knobs.
  • Two Telescoping Legs give added support in the middle or at the ends of the Connecting Tubes. A quick twist locks their height.
