[quote="dusty"]I seriously doubt that, joshh. This Table and Tie Bar Assembly came with my Mark V when it was new. That was many years and several different shops ago. It has seen a fair amount of wear and tear and probably some abuse. I would not feel right even just asking for a replacement. Now if it was new - by all means.

I swapped the tiebars between the Crafter's Station and the Shorty. The Crafter's Station doesn't have the same sort of carriage and whatever causes this issue is not apparent with the Crafter's Station. The Carriage and Tie Bar Assembly that are now on the Shorty work fine. Through all of this, the goto machine was hardly disturbed at all]
Your crafter's station has a tie bar???? *

Ignore my 'conclusion' post in the 'poll' thread, but it belongs here, and you have already replied to it by way of the wasted week ahead.


P.S. * Trunions swapped perhaps?

No, I swapped the Table Bar and Tube Assembly (514344) off of the Crafter's Station to the Shorty. The Table Bar from the Shorty is now on the Crafter's Station; the Crafter's Station does not have a "Carriage" per se. The vertical supports are secured using a mechanism that resembles a pair of slip collars thus the fir is not so critical.

I did swap trunnions around. The trunnions that were on the Crafter's Station had holes that had not been enlarged. I wanted to again experience table alignment with the original size trunnion bolt holes; I can now do that on my Shorty (actually, I can do that anywhere I put that Main Table Assembly). It happens to be a 510 configuration.

No it does not.

It has a Table Bar and Tube Assembly (514344).
