Thanks for the pics, Ed. Sorry for the delay in replying: work and honey-do lists have been keeping me busy. I still need to take some pictures, but I do have some progress. I received a brand new lower saw guard from the Mothership today. That brought me up to: Two upper guards/riving knives. Both ...

Correction: experienced it with two separate *upper* saw guards. I bought the second one because I thought it was, in fact, the knife on my first upper guard that was bent. But since both knives do it, I have a hard time believing they are both twisted in the same exact way. So lower saw guard is th...

This seemed plausible, as I know I have had issues with the back of the riving knife hitting the table insert before. So today I went in and removed the table from the equation entirely--just tried to get the lower saw guard, blade, and upper saw guard mounted and aligned. Prior to tightening the re...

I even matched up the sample page number in their image with my fourth edition and they matched up. Then the number of pages they advertised matched, too. I would have ord...

Thanks for the quick reply, as always!

I would technically qualify as a medium, I think, but it's too cold to go out and measure my oversized one stall detached garage. <400 sq ft, to be sure, but shared with all the normal garage stuff so it's not dedicated space. No cars parked in there though. One Shopsmith and two Shop Deputies in th...

I know I found this information buried in a forum post before, but I searched and could not find it again for the life of me. Can someone please provide measurements for the two 1.25" arbors: 555130 1-1/4" Saw Blade Arbor (for MARK 7 and MARK V Models 520,510 and 505) 505511 1-1/4" Sa...
