Do keep an eye out for the correct upper saw blade guard. It is the one br549 shows in the first picture as upgraded 500 upper guard. They do show up for sale often. Also I do not see the lower saw guard part that attaches to the table tie bar. This piece helps surround the blade under the table.

This is the early version of the guard system you have with the 1-1/4" dust collection port.

This is the later version of the guard system you have with 2-1/2" dust collection ports.

I cannot tell which one you have without looking at the other side of the lower guard. The upper guard is the same.

Below is the previous guard system which can work on your Mark V.

It is an option if you have trouble finding the parts you need for the current system you have.
