New Mark V owner accessory question

calstar · Post by **calstar** » Sat May 07, 2011 4:36 pm

Just picked up my first ShopSmith this week and the accessory shown in pic came with it. It appears to be some type of compressor; anyone know what it is and what it does?

thanks,
Brian

That looks like a spray attachment. It is basically a small compressor when attached to the ss can be used to paint!

Thanks for the response. Here is the Mark V and what came with it as I'm unloading it from my truck(base/legs not shown but are in good condition) Serial # indicates mid 50s build.

Looks like a nice find! Looks like they cleaned up the top rails for you.

That jointer will need some serious TLC but if you can get it cleaned up and servicable you will love it. I love my jointer and just dropped off my knives to get sharpened as I use it all the time. Man does it make some shavings.

Took the jointer apart today, scraped off nearly all the the rust on the table using a razor blade in a painting glass cleaning holder. I'm missing an adjusting part of the table adjustment mechanism. I'll try to find the info in the threads and links. Good to know its a nice jointer. I just looked at a 50s craftrsman 4" jointer, not nearly as beefy or well made as the V. I'llpost some pics when I have the time.

Thanks,

Brian
