Roy,

I doubt that it has a Planer with it and may actually be a Jointer. A common error in listings. Still if in fair condition should be a good buy. It would be nice if pictures were included in the ad. Since it says Mark 5 and not Mark V it is likely an older one - pre 1980.

Welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. The link Ron gave you references a lot of great information. One is where you can find a restored PDF version of a 10ER Manual. A direct link is below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B1p8_ycx_8A0OW1EVEpSUm9GMW8 It can also be found under the Maintenance and R...

I really cannot give an answer for that either. Like Dusty I usually have my sanding disk positioned next to the table rather than in the table slot. Doing that I really haven't paid much attention to setting up the sanding disk in the table slot. Shopsmith did sell a Disk Sanding Table Insert but a...

Nice job! I love seeing the old Greenies or any of them restored.

Is there a reason you have the High Speed Lock out from behind the Speed Dial?

The screws on mine are Phillips Head #8 about a 1/2" long and Tinnerman clips to match. They were the same on a 1982 Mark V I restored. Earlier Slotted Head screws were used and the casting holes on older Mark 5's were threaded.

If your Greenie Jointer is an early one it would have the early Fence Lock parts (handle, bolt, nut) as the Model 4E and those parts changed in 1955. This is one of those items that have to be changed as an assembly if the handle needs replacing. The 4E and early Model 620 fence lock is shown in the...

Welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. I'm glad you have been enjoying the Forum. As you already know there is a lot of information here and many members willing to help with questions.

Yes there are the rare, very rare and not so rare when it comes to the Model 10 parts and accessories. I know I didn't mention them all so thank you adding the lamp and flex shaft. I have two of each also. The key switch currently for sale looks a little sketchy for actual use and it is in line with...

For me it depends on the sanding job. Unless you bought your Shopsmith used and it was missing they all came with the Sanding Disk from the factory. It is a useful and relatively inexpensive sander. I have several and keep different grits on them. I also have the Conical Sanding Disk, actually 4, on...

Another confirmation of when the Cutter Head changed. Thanks If your Magna Model 505681 SN 83156 was made by Magna American Corporation it is from the 1960's after the part number change and would be very much like the Model 620-C. They were still considered a 620-C besides having the new 505681 par...
