True. When I went to find it on the SS website, I see that a download is "unavailable". That's the reason I posted here, so I could get a quick idea and learn...

It's too large to post here, but just Google "Shopsmith Lathe Duplicator Manual". Hits #2 and #3 are free PDF downloads.

Re: New Guy
That's why I hopped on it and drove far to go grab it. The guy said he's been at it over 40yrs. Really advanced woodworking shop he had! I think he was trying to help someone out... One day I'll know what I'm doing, have lots of parts and help the new folks too!

Re: New Guy
This machine I just picked up is a Mark V 520. Serial numbers for this model is the date of manufacture. The biggest difference (that I can see) is the floating table system, where my Mark 5 has 1 table section and the end table.
Since this 2nd machine is both newer and in better condition, I will work on alignments and maintenance and use the 520 as my primary machine. I'll leave the bandsaw in place and use the table saw and sanding disc. My older machine will primarily be a lathe and drill press, as needed.
There's still lots of parts I want to acquire for both of them. I'm looking forward to making small projects soon!

Looks to be a 510. Note that the side rails are just tubes. The 520 system has an extruded angle on the side rails like this new Mark 7 using the same table system

Re: New Guy
FYI….
My adaptation to use additional machines. Thinking was that all Shopsmith fences, guides, attachments etc will fit on each of these.
Sanding Station, without disk mounted
Wall / Post mounted drill press

Cooch366,
That's a great setup you have there. I can tell you put lots of time into it. Gives me some good ideas too! Thanks for sharing.
