Sorry, it’s a 520 fence system, the documentation I have has a ‘99 print date so I assumed it was upgraded then. I was able to purchase an older gray 510 table and it’s working great with the 520 rails.chapmanruss wrote: Wed Jun 21, 2023 1:17 pm In your first post you said you have "a '93 Mark 5" but didn't say what Model it is. It is the Table/Fence System it has that determines which model it is. In 1993 there was the original Table/Fence System that existed from the beginning when the Mark 5 was introduced in 1954. That original Table/Fence System became the Mark V 500 when the Mark V 510/505 Table System (round fence rails) was introduced in 1985. Since the time your Mark V was made in 1993 it could have been upgraded to even the Mark V 520 Pro Fence Table System (extruded fence rails). I mention all this, so you find the right replacement Extension Table for your Mark V. That may sound like there are a lot of different Extension Tables to sort through but not really. The Mark 5/V 500 has two Extension Tables available and the difference is the width of the table. The Mark V 510/505 and 520 use the same Extension Table but with different Fence Rails. There is an exception to that since the Mark V 510/505 Fence Rails mounted differently during the first year (1985
If you post a picture of your Mark V and its tables, we can help guide you better.
I can’t figure out what happened to this machine but it was dropped or had something crash on it.
I’m getting it back in shape though.
I probably should have checked it out closer but if only I knew then what I know now
Thanks again everyone for your help and advice.
