shopsmith shaper fence

Post by kywood »

Hello
I am new to the form and the shopsmith. I have a shopsmith mark v 510.
Just wondering if a shaper fence from a 500 will work on my 510?
Thanks

It can be modified to work by drilling holes in the casting to line up with the holes in the 510's table. Shopsmith provided me with this PDF to locate the holes.

It will also work using Shopsmith's sliding "T" nuts # 555916 (so no drilling). I actually used elevator bolts and wing nuts instead of T-nuts. The wood fence must be thickened a little (easy mod). Works great.
