Shopsmith Forums

I now have three shopsmiths. A brand new Mark 7 which just purrs, A 1983 Mark 5 which runs pretty quietly, and I just picked up a 1997 Mark 510 which is very loud. It sounds like a jet engine. Any idea why it would be so loud? Its a bit scary.

Am I doing something wrong. I have used the incra I-box with my Mark 7 Table saw and it works beautifully so I thought I'd try it with the Mark 7 under table router. It wont clear the carriage. I hope I'm being stupid and making an obvious error. Anybody else run into this?

I just purchased my New Mark 7 through =Doug on Jan 24th. Anxious to pick it up end od Feb.
