Beware of over confidence! Better to always think things out.

I really appreciate all the suggestions.

Worth the extra couple hundred more than the initial Shopsmith I was considering?

That second one is an upgraded 500. Don't see the telescoping legs. Do see a bent caster.

Absolutely!!!!!!
Better than the upgraded greenie I suggested earlier.
Assuming decent condition. If not, all is repairable/restorable. Looks good as is from the pix.
P.S. The caster looks bent.(fixable)
P.P.S. Table support legs, auxiliary table may be in first pix. Floating tables(2)?

Re: I am new to all of this. Sure could use some advice.
So in comparing what you call an upgraded 500 versus the 510, is that a negative or just an observation?rcplaneguy wrote:That second one is an upgraded 500. Don't see the telescoping legs. Do see a bent caster.

The first pix shows two 'floating' tables, possibly joined with connector tubes.BuckeyeDennis wrote:The floating tables and extension tubes are shown in the first pic, leaning against the stacked-stone wall to the right of the Mark V.JPG wrote:Liz wrote:I really appreciate all the suggestions.

The fourth pix reveals the table support(one?) tubes, AND an outfeed table(extra goodie).
So I think it is complete with much extra stuff.
