Mark V / 500 table with second slot question

Since this older thread talks about the second slot, I am asking my questions here instead of creating a new thread. I am considering getting a Mark V / 500 table with the second slot for a couple of reasons. First, for the ability to rip larger widths without trying to bridge the main table/auxilia...

Re: Heads Up - Bargain 'available'

I check Craigslist every morning for Shopsmith (and Shop Smith) listings. The one I linked only showed up yesterday, and it must have been seen and bought by someone else watching for good buys. The planer was stand alone for under $500, and the DC was about $150 or so. Hope a fellow forum member wa...

Shopsmith Drill Press Vise 556416 Dimension Questions

I needed to drill some 1/2" and 5/16" holes in small blocks of wood yesterday, and it took 4 clamps and 9 scraps of wood to hold the pieces securely while I drilled. This started me looking at drill press vises. I have a Mark V 500, so I don't have the T-slots at the miter gauge slots. But...
