I've never see one like it. Must be the only one made by Shopsmith in 2000.

It reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song, "I got it one piece at a time".

Wonder where the rest of the Mark VII stuff is, and where the 520 stuff is.

I think it's a basic Mk. V because the Mk. VII tables fit. I may be wrong but don't think they will fit a 500, 510 or 520. The Mk. VII tables and fence are a better addition than the originals in my opinion.

Using the old Mark VII table (and extension table) requires that you also use the old Mark VII carriage. Should be fine but certainly not a 520... :rolleyes:

IIRC, only the MVII extension table was 'attached'.

The originator has removed the listing.
