Is the Diameter of the shaft 5/8" like the Mark V? I have a bid on a 10ER but all I need is the Sanding disc. Will it fit my Mark V?

Anyone interested if I should get it?

Thanks Tim

It will fit! The quill shaft and the quill od are the same.

To further add to this post, "almost" anything that mounts on a Shopsmith quill, will mount on ANY other quill. The "almost" is for the speed reducer and speed increaser, for the Mk5 series, won't work on the Model 10, from what I've heard. ANYTHING that mounts JUST on the spindle will work. Regardless of what the catalog says.

JPG, quill diameter is 1.75 and the spindle is 0.625, inches, correct?

Yep! Same as way tubes.

That is what I thought. Sanding disc doesn't mount (directly) on the quill. Mounts on the spindle. (Quill doesn't spin. Spindle does. Maybe that's why it's called the "SPIN"dle.)

Yes, I was confused, that is why I asked.

Tim, unless you get a MK5 later version sanding disc, it could be aluminum, and (in my {never to be} humble opinion) they may be warped. About half of the ones I've seen are, to the tune of at least 50 to 100 thousandths horizontal runout. Of course, that can be fixed.

Spindle is 1, 3/4ths inch? (1.75)

Same as the quill?

Tim, I be pickin' on my friend.
Also, trying to point something out.

Spindle is .625 inch, or 5/8ths.
Quill is 1.75, or 1, 3/4ths inch.

Sorry guys, took Machine shop class, way back in
the early '70s, and STILL remember the fractional/
decimal breakdown, for the common sizes.

(And, it's STILL fun to pick on Galloping Ghost!)

You never know, the 10ER may grow on you.

I'm still interested to join the 10ER cadre.
My only concern is costs.

Please send me a PM if you win the bid.

5 minutes to go and it looks like I am outbid. How high should I go??

It is at $60.00 now.
