Mark 5 Bargain No Longer Available

Post by redleg »

I picked up this Greenie last night from a forum member. He has switched to stand alone tools. The Greenie was his great uncle's, then to his father, and then to him. I won't be able to get to cleaning until after vacation. Base paint is still original. The control sheave bearing is shot but I have an extra sheave on hand. I bought it for the universal lathe tool rest but I don't think I can part with the Greenie. Total price $150.00. Thanks again David for sharing.

Take good care of the miter gauge slot extension(front table extension). They are different from the 'current' version and will only fit the cast in rail. They are also somewhat rare.

JPG Thanks for the heads up on the miter gauge extension. I was also surprised with the old Craftsman Tenon Jig that fits the Shopsmith miter slot whereas a newer one I have from Craftsman did not.
