I've just started getting into a little bit of turning on my mark v and have been reading up on tool sharpening. I'm thinking of building my own version of the sharpening jig for the disk sander. In thinking about that I have a couple of questions: 1. The angle listed for the parting tool on the bla...

Did both of the table inserts go with the table? I'm missing the insert for the router, shaper, and drill press (the one with the round hole).

Yep. I had a couple responses and just got the parts in the mail from RonKlein.

Thanks all.

realisticly the quadrant is toast. someone must have tried changing speeds without the unit running. if i didn't leave it at bill mayos i might have a quadrant in worn but much better shape than that one. the retaining loop bearing had froze and wiped out the metal curved piece if you can get the r...

Wow! It's like someone took a hammer to one end of the quadrant rack! :eek: I'm inclined to agree with JPG on reforming the teeth. If you have a needle file , that might get you by for a while. I wouldn't be too concerned with the space between the worm screw and the back of the speed control housi...

Does the far end(top in your 2nd pix) wobble when shaft is turned? If it doesn't wobble,(out of round/true) then it does not need replacing.:) If it does 'wobble' remove it and carefully try to straighten. Probably wishful thinking, but worth a try! The quadrant does indeed look beyond hope!:( Judi...

If the worm gear is bent, it should be replaced. Depending upon the condition of the rest of the speed control it may suffice to replace only the worm gear and quadrant. 504221 Quadrant Assembly 22.43 504216 Worm Control Shaft 5.33 Pix would help us help you! Yes, I was aware of the terminology, bu...

Any of you folks with the powerpro upgrade keep your original speed control assembly? I just picked up a shopsmith mark V that needs a new quadrant arm/worm gear. The teeth on the quadrant are badly chewed up and the worm gear shaft is not quite straight anymore. I might even take an old control she...

It seems to be a pretty common theme on here, but I picked up a Mark V (1984ish model, as far as the previous and original owner could remember). My father in law has one and I was keeping my eye out for a good deal. It was listed for $200 on craig's list and I talked him down to $150 since he found...
