Speed wouldn't matter with the PowerPro. When I use my Mark V for sawing and jointing I am going back and forth from the saw to the jointer, jointing between rips. I don't stop the motor between operations. Using the PowerPro as you describe would necessitate changing the speed between these two op...

I think the headstock should be redesigned around the PowerPro components in multiple forms. One form would replace the conventional headstock. The auxiliary spindle can be eliminated reducing the parts count, Ed, how would you accommodate the Jointer with such a design? In my opinion it's high eno...

You've just described my business model!

You should see how much of my yapping I edited out! But I get it.

Does he use a Shopsmith? Nick said his grandfather owned and used a 10ER, which is now owned and used by his uncle. He now owns all the Shopsmith tools he wants.

I’ve given it a lot of thought and I’m finally able to say that I’m in! Should be a fun event. Scott

Based on this photo, posted by r_mack1969 in 2014, it looks like Magna American changed the carriage lock before they adopted the hand wheel for height adjustment.

Scott did say in his video that there were some changes making the earlier Mark VII different from later ones. I still have a lot to learn, but some of the changes that took place over the years were (in no particular order) - Foot added to each end to connect the front and back “rails”. - Cam lock...

IIRC the MVII did not have a 1 1/8 hp motor. My recollection says 1.0 hp. You might want to point out some of the MVII things that preceded the 510... The 10" disk sander will mount reversed and will fit into the saw insert. Thanks for chiming in @JPG! My MVII has a 1 1/8HP motor, so perhaps t...
