Problem? What problem? Opportunity I say. That's my story and I am sticking to it.Steamdragon wrote:In the last 3 months I have acquired 2 Mark V 510s, a Mark 5, 1 complete Mark VII (original), and a Mark VII missing all of the gearing and spindles (though it does have a good speed control), 2 band saws (with two modern aluminum tables, and 1 cast iron table), a jointer, an old style pipe jigsaw, dust collection unit, and a whole bunch of assorted arbors and other accessories. I have less than $1000 invested in all of it. I think I need to get my units set up and stop gathering. So the plan is to set one of the 510s set up for lathe and table saw. Not sure how to set up the other Mark Vs, thinking one will be shorty for band saw, jig saw, jointer and sanding, while the other for drill press. Any suggestions and/or intervention to keep me off craigslist will be appreciated.
But if you happen to find the right one as I did it is the most beautiful thing in the world.ERLover wrote:Thats why I dont have one, you guess what.
He He He! I have 3 MK V's and 5 10ER's plus a whole shop full of stand alone tools and my wife is OK since she uses most of them.masonsailor2 wrote:I do not have a problem. I am merely a collector of fine SS machinery. Of course my wife disagrees. Hmmm
