Shorty Rails

Post by Thomschuck »

Checking to see if any of you have a set of rails that you would want to sell? I need to convert my Mark 5/500 into a Shorty. Shopsmith no longer sells shorty rails so I thought I would start asking around. I have had no luck selling my Shopsmith so I am going to keep it and use it as a jointer and a plate sander. Fire off a flair if you have a set of what I need. Thank You,

You brought this up previously in this thread: viewtopic.php?t=35401
My responses stay the same. Tell us what length rails you are looking for. EMT conduit is readily available as a suitable substitute for a Shorty.
