Double tilt, reversible run(sorta like a non power pro Mark 7).

Assuming the plastic parts are in as good condition as the rest appears to be it is a good thing. Also the table is deeper and with the attachable aux table the main table is much larger than a Mark 5/V.

Just my tainted opinion. :D


I think of it as essentially a prototype to both the 505-520 series and the Mark 7.

Beware the plastic parts however!!!

Oh and the 'dreaded' left right aux table alignment should not exist since the way/bench tubes are 'stopped' in the end castings.


P.S. Notice I did NOT mention the 'vac'.

He sez a planer but I think it should be jointer.

It should be safe to assume that the table-tilt lock works well! :rolleyes:

Seller is asking $200. Pretty sweet, but my tiny little personal museum is already bursting at the seams.

I do not see the mt2 tailstock mount.

Unusual, it has the belt guard.

Good looking tubes.
