Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
My interest in model VII. Here's another one nearby. I can go look at it if anyone is interested. Missing the crappy vac housing. Only one of my units has the vac. It was substandard build quality. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/973446157212327/?ref=search&referral_code=null&refer...

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
Mark VII vintage machine, around the Houston area. I could go look at it if anyone is really interested. Missing the built in vac like many of them. Seeing the speed setting on the low speed, and the ways fairly shiny kinda indicates it was well taken care of. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it...

Re: US Government is About to Change Table Saws FOREVER!
I also found the actual wording of the announcement concerning the patent vague enough to be qualified later. However, taking it at face value, with the patent now expired, and no extension issued, it seems to be intended for use in the public domain without compensation. I am prepared to be found w...

Mark VII - dual quill bearing year? All models 1.125HP?
Of my three units, all of them have a 1.125 or 1-1/8HP motor. Were there higher power motors installed in the Mark VII from SS?
Does anyone know the cutoff SN or the year of one vs two quill bearing? I thought they were all two quill bearing, maybe wrong.

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”

Re: Mark VII “Project Machine”
Day-um! Deal of the century! FYI, you have a Mk VII 'series 3'. There was no official series for the Mk VII but there were running changes along the production. The open ends of the base footing and the non-hinged lower cabinet door indicate a fairly late S/N model. I think the power switch was beef...

Re: looking for help pricing a Mark VII to sell
Those gear teeth are avail on ebay. Look for 'shopsmith' parts and you'll find it if you want to replace the section. The gear rack on the ways is another of the poor quality setup done on the Mk VII, like the vac system.
