Does anyone have a Model 510 with a four digit serial number; like 9144. I'm thinking that during that time they might have dropped the two leading zeroes and I am trying to confirm that theory.

Thank you. That shoots my theory plum out of the water. Sorry about that, woodboats]for certain[/U] when your unit was built.

The SN on the headstock is 9761. I do not know what the model is or when it was made. I am trying to get table saw guards. The table is 14 x 19. Any comments?

Based on the serial number, I would say it was born in Feb/Mar 1987 but the table is the wrong size to be a 510.
Do you see an example of your machine in
this series of videos? About three minutes into the video clip you begin to see some good images of a 510.

14 x 19 would be a Mark 5 or a Mark V 500.
Table saw guards

The headstock appears to be a 510, although my guards and table top do not look like the ones in the video. I think I bought a patched together system. I will get some pics posted soon. Thanks for the help. I am pondering if purchasing guards, tables, fences and all the needed items are in my budget.

I believe that between 1985 and 1987, Shopsmith used a 510 serial name plate starting with very low numbers for their 510 machines. I know I have seen some 1986 ones with the 510 name plate and a low serial number. I believe late 1987 was when I first saw them moving to paste-on serial number for the date the headstock was assembled.
