SSInc. should have tossed in an extra accessory and called the new Mark 7 a Mark 8 or a Mark VIII. :)

Some would say Mark 6 or Mark VI! Not I! Pretty thin distinction between shaping and routing though. And then there is the 'fact' they can both be done on a 5/V.;)

Because I teach World History, I thought "how about writing 5 or 7 in Phoenician, Chinese, Hindi, or some other language?" :D But I didn't want to incur the wrath of the Shopsmith Brotherhood/Sisterhood (plus I didn't have the time to figure out such a devious plan).:p

So if you upgrade a Mark V with a Power Pro and the Double Tilt Base Upgrade, is it a Mark 7?

Alright, maybe a 510 upgraded in this manner should be called a 515:)
