Does anyone know of a source for a replacement Speed Control Cam for a Mark VII? I managed to melt mine this weekend.

I would be surprised if Shopsmith did not offer it. They had everything I needed for my Mark V.

v/r,

Consider yourself 'surprised'.

They occasionally appear on e-bay.

There is finite number of them.

They are getting rarer.

Wish I had better news!

I have a mark VII that I am going to part out. If you need something contact me via email and let me know what you are looking for. The speed controller looks intact last I checked.

wasn't there a discussion sometime last year about someone that was going to
reproduce these?
I Know I read a lengthy discussion and cannot remember if it was here or not.
Anyone else remember this?
I would think it be worth it to make it out of aluminum instead.
It doesn't look like that complicated a part, but I've never seen one up close and personal, only in pictures and discussions with pictures.
Anyone asked Skip Campbell at MKC Tools yet?

Just do an advanced search on the forum for Mark vii plastic cam and you will find a host of old posts on the subject. Lots of reading!
