It will be close. My 3/21/89 bandsaw has the cast iron table.

In all seriousness, the bandsaw with the cast iron table will fit your Mark V just fine. Any other worries?Tim

There is a new Bandsaw Rip Fence that was an upgrade provided by Kreg that I believe is now offered by Shopsmith.

At the risk of repeating myself, since this bandsaw does have a cast iron table, you simply need to decide 1) do I want a cast iron table? 2) if no, do I want to either live with it or upgrade 3) am I going to wait for a later model bandsaw with an aluminum table.
Life is one great big, continuous series of decisions.

Sorry I was so cryptic. Had only a moment to alert that iron table has some differences. Only significant because accessories aren't just bolt on in some cases.mike
