Mystery Add-On

Hello,

In my recent acquisition of Mark VII with half a Mark V headstock and the Mark VII reversible motor as well as a spare Greenie that had already been pilfered in the past, I also received a pile of add-ons.

All are easily recognizable in the manuals (I have the Mark V and Mark VII parts manual and owners manual), however one remains elusive.

It is quite possible it isn't even for the Shopsmith. If it is, I have seen no mention of it.

Depending on how it mounts, it would work like a jointer, with the knob slowing lowering the indeed 'table' side.

Here are the pictures, any thoughts?

It looks like a jointer-shaper fence for 10ER

Looks like you're right! Never know what surprises you'll find in a box of parts. The seller said it was the router fence...Which was not actually included

I found a reference to it in a pdf file of a Montgomery Ward brochure:

FWIW they also come with wood fences.

And, anyone interested in getting one, the Mk5 500 fence WILL fit.

And, is MUCH better than the Model 10 one.

Concerning your post #191454 (Jointer Shaper picture). Thanks! I have one and didn't know how to "hook it up." Seems that it goes into the hole in the table. If you have additional suggestions/literature for safe use and installation, please let me know.
