I actually built my own under-mount tool station - stole an idea from my older brother, and added drawers to it. I had to grind the top corners of the plywood so the thing would fit under my Mark V 500, but once I had it bolted in place, it has proven EXTREMELY useful. I'm attaching the PDF of the C...

Does anyone else have issues with the mandrel saver which comes with the Nova G3 Pen Turning kit? (P/N 556217) I have two of them - when I use the original one, the threaded back plate ALWAYS backs out while I'm turning a piece. This doesn't happen with the newer one, but in both cases, the "he...

I had a similar problem occur with my Mark V model 500 yesterday. The third mounting screw (#3 in the photo benmcn posted above) stripped its threads while I was cranking the speed up (on mine, it's the one holding the spring that the crank dial rests againt).

I'm also looking to sell a complete machine - a model 10ER that I've had for many years, and which my father bought new (perhaps in 1949). S/N ER-10822. It's equipped with the variable-speed changer. Here's a photo of the machine and all the accompanying attachments / accessories: ShopSmith_10ER_202...

I have a model 10ER for which I need to find a new, hopefully happy, home. The machine was my father's (S/N ER-10822, possibly built in 1949) - he maintained it and used it for many years, refusing to replace it with a Mark V. I purchased a Mark V from a neighbor some years ago, PLUS we'll be moving...
