I hope this year 2011. I have been monitoring the problems here and there and waiting for all of the bugs to be worked out. Also want to have the money in hand. I plan to buy the Mark V11 instead of upgrading any of my current machines.

Got it the third time. I do not know what was wrong but after 3 attempts removing and reinstalling I was able to do a high speed adjustment and everything works great.

I think I brought home some Tennessee spiders. I hope they do not interbreed with Our native spices and develop something unnatural.

There is no rime or reason for these pictures. Just thought you'all would like some highlights.

This was the nastiest head stock I have ever torn down. I was surprised to find all the bearings smooth and after a good cleaning everything look pretty good.

The legs had enough rust on them that I decided to sandblast and repaint.

My favorite part is the re-assembly.

And JPG I never did find the head for the miter gauge but I did find this brand new in a bag along with receipts where the original owner spent $1746.71 on a 520 upgrade and some other accessories.



I still need a cover screw and retainer. I guess I'll order that along with a new belt tomorrow.

Conclusion:

10 hours round trip, 2 days cleaning and servicing. A hundred dollars on Evaporust, blasting sand, and other needed supplies. Was it worth it.

What do you think!


PS: The other caster set is still soaking in the rust remover. Oh and what I thougt was weld splatter turned out to be black paint splatter so no real damage. I decided to set it up on some shorty tubes that I already had. This is going to be my dedicated machine for a 3/4 inch dado.

I have a set of shorty tubes and an extra 510 set of tables...I will have to try this. Maybe this has been discussed before, but I wonder if the tubes need to be a little longer than the standard shorty to allow for the larger carriage and wider main table.

Yes mine would have worked better if they had been about 2 inches longer. The table will not lay flat as in drill press mode with out hitting the headstock. I would play around with a full size set up before deciding upon the best length.
