Seems like a helluva collection. They don't mention it, but is that a planer I see included in there?

Yes, I see a Shopsmith-mount planer. i think there have been 1 or 2 other Power Pros on CL. But still a rare item to turn up used on CL. Sounds like neither owner used them very much if at all.

It's not mine... But I ran out to the shop just to make sure all my SS stuff was still there.

It is really a Shopsmith Mark V Model 520 with a Power Pro Headstock. It does not have the double tilt feature.

Nonetheless, it is certainly worth every bit of the asking price even with a 10 hour drive to go get it.

Don't bother. That's not the machine for sale. I was suspicious and google image searched the image for the same image. It came from a woodworking mag review of the new Mark 7. I then texted the owner and asked if the pic was of his machine. He replied with a pic of what he actually has, which is an old Mark 5.

If it's too good to be true... It's not...

Thanks for the update.....

Title says Mark VII.

Pix says 500/powerpro.

Seller says 500.

??????????

Rails on tables and fence say 520

I repeat, the picture in the ad is NOT what this guy is selling. He took the photo off the internet.
