If you are looking for the basic rest, I should have one. Email me at the address below if you are interested.gph wrote:My son-in-law just gave (!!!) me a used shopsmith mark v. From the original purchase invoice (1981) I assume it's a model 500. My question is did the standard equipment include a lathe tool rest? It wasn't among the stuff I got with it. At any rate, where can I get a plain, bare-bones tool rest? The ones offered on the website aren't what I'm looking for, since they appear to be primarily for bowl turning.
When I bought my first SS 510 back in the mid 80's I took a couple classes at the local SS store. We made a simple tool holder for the lathe tools that hung on the way tube. Any idea on how to find that plan ?gph wrote:My son-in-law just gave (!!!) me a used shopsmith mark v. From the original purchase invoice (1981) I assume it's a model 500.
