Effortlessly raise your Shopsmith MARK V made after 1972 with Lift Assist.

Designed specifically for Shopsmith MARK V tools manufactured after 1972 with the conventional headstock, this Lift Assist system uses a powerful gas cylinder to reduce lifting effort when tilting your machine into vertical position. Whether you're converting to drill press mode or storing vertically, the Lift Assist makes transitions smooth and controlled—reducing strain on your back and improving safety.

Key Features:

• Designed for MARK V (post-1972) with conventional headstock

• Heavy-duty gas spring supports headstock and carriage

• Makes lifting easier, safer, and faster

• Perfect for frequent tool conversions or vertical storage

• Includes all required mounting hardware and instructions

Fits:

• MARK V (manufactured after 1972) with conventional headstock

Does NOT Fit:

• MARK V units made before 1972

NOTE: If you own Shopsmith's steel storage cabinets, with the lift-assist only one of them will slide under the MARK 7 / MARK V for storage (if the casters are removed from the steel storage cabinets, two will fit).
