New style lower blade guard for the 500
I have a question. I read through numerous threads on here regarding the newer style lower blade guard for the 500. My question is does this guard work with the 12" steel sanding disc or do I need this for dust collection? https://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/itemfind.htm?item=555167 I have been...

Re: Setting Up Shop
If there is a specific question or problem, I could lend a hand. I am somewhat close to Hume. I am in Woodbridge, VA. Given your amps listed, you are pushing the limit load with any power tool especially if you are thinking about dust collection. While one could use the Shopsmith on that, I would ad...

Re: New Mark V 500 owner 1983 question
Thank you for the reply. I was looking at a 510 on craigslist. It's a slippery slope with these machines. I originally purchased the 500 for a drill press and sanding machine since I have a lot of stand alone machines. I will say I am quite impressed using the Shopsmith as a drill press.

New Mark V 500 owner 1983 question
As from the title, I recently acquired a Mark V via craigslist. It has the original tables. I was wondering will a new 520 table fit the old carriage?

Re: Incra fence score, and whatsit?
It is an out of production woodpecker's drill press table. The incra fence is for a router table. It can be adapted to make the LSTS table saw. This website should help answer questions. https://www.incrementaltools.com/

Re: New Mark V 500 owner
Everyone here is a wealth of information. I really appreciate the help. I am sorry to ask another question. I removed the quill to check the bearing. It is very smooth and tight. Given this is a single bearing, are the dual bearings that much better?

Re: New Mark V 500 owner
Thank you everyone for your kind comments. I have a radial drill press from Grizzly, which was the worst investment I have ever made in a drill press. Has anyone else had issues on deflection while drilling?

New Mark V 500 owner
I have been looking at getting a new drill press for my shop. I came across an ad in the local Craigslist for a gently used Shopsmith. I thought about it and for me to purchased a variable speed drill press, the Shopsmith made more sense because of the horizontal boring. Anyway, I purchased the Shop...
