It appears as though there is a Zyliss style vise in the box. There is a Maxi Clamp system laid out to the right of the pictures that show the vise. The other tables are an outfeed table, a crosscut table and an overarm router table (though I do not see the router arm in any of the pictures).

Agreed! When did the guard become a detail(since he mentioned guard arbor, that may be a reasonable detail). I was not considering it. The keyed washer assures that the nut will not be loosened by reverse running or inertia at power down. In my book and IMHO:cool:, operating a grinding wheel requir...

My 8 x 1 x 1 wheel just arrived. Silly me, I measured the wrong arbor and don't have one that fits. I assumed I had four 5/8" arbors and one 1 1/4" arbor. No luck - I've got three long shaft 1/2" arbors with craftsman blades and a buffing wheel on them, a SHORT 5/8" arbor with a...

This will not work with the shopsmith grinding wheel guard, it is too long and will not allow the guard to be mounted to the quill housing.:eek:

Thanks, beatnik. I'll look into those cutters/moulding heads. I won't be splashing the boat this year, but the swim platform is one of the bigger exterior items that still needs to be installed. The timing was right, so I fixed some bad patches and epoxy coated the whole thing using West System res...

Newbie on the forum and new owner of a Mark V, used. Located in So Cal. Completely frustrated with this sander. I set up the belt sander, and actually used it for a couple of hours. Had it humming and dialed in, doing some wood cutting boards, the checker board kind. The sander was awesome at squar...

I am a new owner of a Mark V made in 1979 purchased in the UP of Michigan. After trying to use the lathe, I discovered missing parts for the carriage and checked the parts list online to find two of three parts. As luck would not be in my favor, the pinion lock(part #504260) is shown as #149 on the...
