Making a 500 into a 510, or 520...

Post by jtevans »

Stupid question time...

I'm checking the SS Website and see nothing there that suggests how I can purchase the table upgrades to go from a 500, to a 510, 520. I would like to get the larger table configuration for plywood and long-stock projects...

Can somebody give me some advice? or suggestions?

On that SS page go down the Products section on the left and click on Upgrades. Then click on Mark V Upgrades and you should see all possible upgrades for your Mark V.
Upgrades are worth it in my opinion.

This used to be a lot easier than it is now (not so many paths) but I think this will answer your questions. If not, query the forum again. Welcome to the forum. We are here to help.

Who said anything about $2500. Pay attention to the ads (EBay, CL, etc). You never know. You just might get a chance to steal one but that won't happen if you are not paying attention.
