I really like your storage!!

I just can't lift the band saw or jointer anymore to clear the posts. I thought I would post my answer which nothing to do with woodworking but it may inspire someone as a temporary fix. Works for me also I don't have room for your splendid answer.

It is definitely an arbor for a Mark V 500 # 555321. No, I didn't run it with a washer or two on the 5/8" quill shaft. I was simply trying to figure out why the blade was off 1/8" from lining up with the table slot. Like I said I normally use the 5/8" arbor used for the molding cutter...

Thanks! Apparently this is a 500 arbor. I didn't know they were different but it makes sense since I have had it for probably 30 years or more. I have always used the 5/8" arbors for the molding blades but ran across this one and thought I would try it to keep from changing blades so much. Also...

another "Friggijng problem. I got this belt sander with a Mark VII I bought about a year or so ago and it has been setting on a self ever since. I just got to checking it out and was going to put a new ceramic belt on. For the life of me I can't get the tension released on the old belt. I am de...

jsburger John I didn't install the carriage nor the main table. Didn't have enough room on the way tubes. I don't think I can use the lower saw guard. Will need to check it out. My thoughts on dust control for the disc sander is push it out on the driveway. ;) ;) Unfortunately that's hard to do if i...
