I don't know for sure but I can't imagine why not. The overall size of both models is identical.

I'm curious because the 510/520 tables are much larger.

That could be an issue.

I don't know how large the 500 dust cover is but the 520 table measures 26 1/16" rail to rail. I hope this helps but if it doesn't, post again or PM me and I'll do what I can.

Yes but is that the same P/N when the Model 500 was available. I under the concern. Does anyone have an old catalog that still has the Model 500 in it with accessories? That should confirm if the 500 and 510 dust covers have the same P/N.

Be cautious when assuming the same part number = identical part.

Yeah, I do. Read and weep. Prices are 1990.

I have equipment covers that were purchased sometime in the early 90's. At that time, my Mark V was a Model 510. It is now a 520 and I use the same cover. The corners of the 520 rails are a bit more hazardous than were those on the 510. Hazardous not only to the cover but also for me. I scrape myself often on the ends of the rails. I mention this as a warning. If you use the cover on a Mark 5 (any model) with two extension tables, the cover will be subject to easy tears by those exposed corners.

Dusty, do you ever sleep? Thanks for the pic... The one machine I would like to cover is my 10ER, as I almost never use it. The SPT's, maybe the belt sander and scroll saw. The rest keep fairly busy. That being said, I have a ton of sheets I could use.....
