Restoration of Mark V / produced on 11/84

[GetterDone]

I have learned so much from this forum.

I will try to share some of my projects /progress on these great machines I have in my Artillery.

Here is the start of Refurbishing the 7th machine I just purchased.

Here is when I hauled it in.

I decided to refurbish this one first because of studying the info in this forum.

Also, info from members gave me when I started this Thread.
Link: viewtopic.php?t=35407

With that info and research I have gained is why I chose to take this path.

So I am going to start with this machine and see where I will go from there.

This one has a 2-bearing spindle.

This Required a lot of soaking .

It was stuck to the Spindle.

I don't know what this is used for.

But I'm sure Ya'll know.

Maybe cutoff disc?

Yes, see everything about arbors: (viewtopic.php?t=22629)

I believe it is a 5/8" Universal Arbor, later re-identified as a 5/8" Molder/Dado Arbor. There are multiple versions. When I bought mine, roughly the time your machine was produced, SS did not have a 5/8" saw arbor and this was available to fill that need, thus Universal. This description presumes it is 5/8", there is a similar 1/2" product.

Thanks David

For the info and the Link.

GetterDone,

Since David linked my thread on Identifying Shopsmith Arbors there isn't anything for me to add about that.

It would be better to have larger pictures to show details clearly. Funny having to say that as most posting of picture problems is too large of ones not being able to post.

Enjoy working on those Shopsmith Tools and keep us posted on your progress.

Good advice.

My edited this on my computer has changed since the last (Forced) update and I am still try too figure it out.

I will get there .
I started to put my scale next to it that would have been (More Better).

Staying on the subject with the build.

I just got a 30L Ultrasonic cleaner from Vevor for this project and many others in the future.

Has anyone used these to clean the Shopsmith parts?

If so, are there any Warnings of what not to put in there?

I am going to research about cleaners also.

Do not put anything in it that is sensitive to high frequency vibration.

[chapmanruss]

I have not used an Ultrasonic Cleaner on any Shopsmith parts.

I do know there are some alloy parts like the chucks on the Jig Saws that certain chemicals damage. Acidic.

For Sure.

I will definatly be selective of what parts I clean.

This was purchased mostly for my 10 other projects I have.
