You already have 1 7/8" bench tubes. You need 1 3/4" tubes(only size currently available from the mother ship). You WILL need shims to ensure the correct c-c spacing. The bench tubes press against a boss in the end castings that is shorter on your castings than the current version. :confu...

An idea that SS already has.... https://shopsmith.com/product/rip-fence-extension-package-for-mark-7-mark-v-520-mark-4/ Problem was price for me. :rolleyes: IF SS would make it an option to compete price wise...it would make sense. All of my many SS toys would fit/work. Doc Currently on sale and av...

Stumpy Nubs latest video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuoNIRwfnPg This looks like a very good option for the SS table saw. The price isn't too bad either. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/ACC94ACA-7876-439B-AE8B-F4390B90A049?ingress=0&visitId=df697034-8091-4a2d-9c54-b3a40b8ec0c7&lp_que...

The Conventional Mark V Headstock runs between 700 and 5200 RPMs. Scott Markwood from My Growth Rings pointed out that the speed reducer doesn't work great for drilling be...

Copy and past then delete the original?

Not to hijack the thread ( but I guess I am) so now SS is calling the conventional head stock a smart motor? Even with a search and replace how could that happen. I don't know what the original parts list said for these parts but I don't think the word motor was in their description for the parts in...

Well guys I can honestly say I definitely did not get a kick back but I cannot definitely say the wood did not move on me. It has in the past... I have had it close the saw kerf and pinch my riving knife and all sorts of issues in the past cutting this batch of walnut. So I can't rule it out but......

The tail stock is a #2 Morse taper. SS sells a live center and they show up on eBay all the time.

I agree with Dusty. Look at the second picture in the first post of this thread. At the 7 o'clock position it looks like the varnish is discolored. The actual fault could be buried in the wire bundle.
