Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'
No Floating Tables, Connector Tubes or Adjustable Legs in the pictures. That would be a 505.

Re: 520 main table rails and aux table rails don't align
Posting pictures of the problem you are having will be helpful. If I understand your problem correctly, just like the Model 500 original tables there is a greater distance from the front of the table to the mounting on the Extension Table Base. There is a difference between the front Fence Rail Extr...

Re: Shopsmith History
John, You are correct in that Magna American Corporation was still in business into 1969. The proof is in that March 1969 Packing Slip. My guess is by that time they were only selling parts and accessories. The Mark 5 was discontinued in 1964 followed by the Mark VII and Sawsmith Radial Arm Saw by t...

Re: Shopsmith History
rsheffe, You stated, My father-in-Law has a green SS, but the serial number is very low: 85004. It was bought a LONG time ago...most likely in the 50's or 60's. See the pic. He says it is a Mark IV (4), but doesn't have any documentation. Any clue what this thing is? The answer is in the picture bel...

Re: Just bought a Mark 2
rsheffe, The answer to your first question is yes. The Mark 2 uses a smaller width belt. The Drive V-Belt is a 34" long belt and a 3L not the more commonly used 4L Belt. I have found and purchased them for my Mark 2's. Look for a 3L340 size belt. Your Father-in-laws Mark 2 looks to be in pretty...

Re: Share your Magna memorabilia!
This may not be the best place for this but I recently purchased this less common Shopsmith tool to add to my collection. It is a 1998 Crafter's Station with the 510 Tables. Being less common and less functional it may be more of a memorabilia item than a tool to use. It can function as a Power Stat...

Re: 10ER Speed changer motor offset?
Warren, Was the information above helpful to your problem or am I understanding your problem incorrectly? The Motor should move enough to center the belt between the Way Tubes going to the Drive Sleeve Pulley on the Headstock. The Headstock Pulley should move on the Drive Sleeve Assembly's Shaft tow...

Re: I got a new to me mark
The cover I previously posted is showing the 1973 Owner's Manual which is only 22 pages including the covers. It does not include the parts lists or diagrams. Getting a more current Mark V 500 Manual would give you a lot more information. Even though your Mark 5 was made in 1975 it would be almost i...
