Seems like a helluva collection. They don't mention it, but is that a planer I see included in there?

Yes, I see a Shopsmith-mount planer. i think there have been 1 or 2 other Power Pros on CL. But still a rare item to turn up used on CL. Sounds like neither owner used them very much if at all.

It's not mine... But I ran out to the shop just to make sure all my SS stuff was still there. :D

It is really a Shopsmith Mark V Model 520 with a Power Pro Headstock. It does not have the double tilt feature.

Nonetheless, it is certainly worth every bit of the asking price even with a 10 hour drive to go get it.

Don't bother. That's not the machine for sale. I was suspicious and google image searched the image for the same image. It came from a woodworking mag review of the new Mark 7. I then texted the owner and asked if the pic was of his machine. He replied with a pic of what he actually has, which is an old Mark 5.

If it's too good to be true... It's not...

Thanks for the update.....

Seller says 500.

Rails on tables and fence say 520

I repeat, the picture in the ad is NOT what this guy is selling. He took the photo off the internet.

I wish I had room for this

It's not to far away.

Its the Sawsmith 2000 Deluxe model (555580) with the 49" rails and Excalibur Fence... They don't come up too often but I wouldn't go over $300-$350 for it. SS sold off their repair parts stock several years ago, about the only thing you can still get is the manual. I picked up a spare motor off eBay back about a year ago to hedge my bet. It's a great saw once it's aligned correctly and I run a Woodworker II blade on it.

It was a very well equipped clean 10ER on a nice bench with drawers full of turning tools and the speed control for $100.

So did you buy it ?:eek:

As is obvious from the previous posts, a link is subject to disappearing after the item is sold. By copying and posting the cl pix, the pix remains after the listing has closed.

Man, I hope someone here got that one! Even if it was an ugly, but running Model 10, it is worth the price, just because they "ain't printing" them anymore.

Fred, did you score on that one?

I'm going to be in Dallas this coming weekend racing in a Model sailboat regatta and e-mailed the seller yesterday but got no response. Guess I missed the boat.
