Please delete double posted -- Miter gauge

Post by rdavidp »

According to the serial number on my Shopsmith Bandsaw, it was made between April and May of 1985. I was given this Shopsmith Mark 5 and Bandsaw for free from a friend who had it given to him from the original owner. I believe the original owner has misplaced several important parts. To be honest the Shopsmith with its current parts is nothing more than a big disk sander and bandsaw. No drill chuck, no saw arbor, no tailstock and other accessories for the lathe other than the lathe chisels. I am going to be piecing things back together as I get the money for it and prioritize by what I find important. Right now, I would really love to have the bandsaw up and running first. I have already ordered new rubber tires and a replacement lower guard roller bearing. Only thing else I need is the miter gauge that fits the cast iron table. Anyone know where I can find one that fits the cast iron table? I also do not have a miter gauge for the table saw. This is a 1985 Mark V 500 with the 500 table.

Thank you.
Double posts occur occasionally to many of us.

When I realize that I have done this, I post a comment in the unintended one to hopefully preclude members posting in both. However, no real harm done.

BTW, the only time a member cannot delete a post is when that post started a thread.
