Dovetail slots on the back of my table tie rod...

Post by aod »

Hello all-
I am a new shopsmith owner and very excited about it! I purchased a Mark V from a local pawn shop and have been getting it set up and figuring it out but one thing has me stumped.
On the backside of the carriage tie rod (part that the table mounts to) there is a horizontal dovetail slot milled into it. I was wondering what attachments were desingned to use this dovetail?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums!

That plastic dovetail piece is use to hold the upper blade guard.
