Mystery parts

sawdougst · Post by **sawdougst** » Wed May 20, 2009 2:48 pm

I have recently purchased a barely-used Mark V 510 (circa 1990) with almost all the bells and whistles (bandsaw, jointer, planer, belt sander, strip sander, scroll saw, dust collector). It also came with boxes of extras like blades, push sticks, shaper fence, routing guards and the like. I've identified everything except the two pieces shown in the attached photos.

Any ideas what these are? I've scoured the manuals, SS website and catalogs to no avail. The red plastic piece may go with the shaper kit. The other piece...who knows.

This forum has been priceless in getting everything up and running. Many thanks to all of you.

they are not shopsmith parts. my best guess on the orange pieces are part of a router table fence. probably craftsman because the last photo is a clamp that slides on the fence of a craftsman router table to hold small pieces.

The orange pieces is router table dust/protection shield usually found on Craftsman router but I have seen them on others. The shield is upside down as pictured. The two studs sticking out are piviots and the shape is such so as you push the wood toward the bit the shield will lift up and ride atop the wood and then return back down to cover the exposed router bit.

The last picture looks like a router table hold down and as the previous poster stated I believe it is usually found on craftsman router tables also.

I own two pieces that look exactly like those.

Mine came with a Craftsman router table.

Sawdougst,

Welcome to the forum. I used to have a Craftsman router table with the same fence parts as pictured. I'll bet you can figure out something to use them for someday. Good luck, be safe, and have fun with your Shopsmith.
