New Member / Old Mark V
Posted: Sun Jan 31, 2021 9:32 am
Hi all,
New Member here in Wisconsin with a 60 yr old Mark V, which is coincidentally the same again as I am.
Yesterday I lined the head stock, which must have been one of the few times it has received oil since it quieted down considerably. I have the original owners manual and followed the instructions there.
My SS is about 15" shorter than original, and will be used as a lathe, once I get some missing accessories, and a drill press. (I already have a tables saw, bandsaw, lathe, etc.)
Restoring it has been fun. I actually had a 10-ER about 30 years ago, which I liked very much. Built a lot of stuff with it.
Anyway, I'm enjoying the forum. Thanks for having it!
