Re: Mark V maximum idler bearing RPM
Perhaps we should start referring to "earlier style " and "later style" ;-)

Re: 520 main table rails and aux table rails don't align
Notice the nuts above and below the Mounting Base which allows for easier aligning to the Main Table. Model 500 Extension Tables needed to be shimmed between the Mounting Base and the Table casting for alignment. As an aside (and not that this helps the OP), on a 500 you can remove the bolts and in...
