All but #8,#9 the mother ship.

Pauldharte,

First off welcome to the Shopsmith Forum. As JPG said all but # 8 and 9 can be purchased here new on the Shopsmith Website through the online catalog.

Your list has

1. Disc sanding pads - these are a consumable item. 12" diameter sanding disks can be ordered.
2. Drill Chuck - a new replacement can be ordered or can be found used, just make sure it attaches directly to the 5/8" spindle. Avoid rusted ones.
3. Lathe live center& Chuck adapter - Available new from the catalog or sometimes used.
4. Jig saw blades - these are standard 5" plain end blades the same as Scroll Saw Blades but only single direction cutting blades.
5. Bandsaw blades - these are 72" blades
6. A planer - the Mark Mount is available new from Shopsmith or can sometimes be found used including the Pro Planer standalone model.
7. Coupler drive - available from the online catalog.
8. Stand for Bandsaw - the bandsaw can be mounted for use on your Mark V using the coupler #7 above.
9. Larger tool test for lathe - by larger I believe you mean longer than 8"? The Lathe Tool Rest arm accepts a 3/4" diameter post.
10. Jointer blades - a replacement part available through the online catalog. The Jointer Knives have been the same since the first Model in 1953.

Although most of these items can be found used there are times it may be better to buy new when available. Used items may not be in good condition so check carefully if buying used since there is no warranty to fix a problem. Prices on used items can be a bargain but do check that against new from the factory prices as sometimes used parts are being sold for more than new. Also compare shipping costs.

You asked about a stand for the Bandsaw. Do you want it set up for use all the time and not on your Mark V? If so, that will require a stand with a motor and a belt with the correct diameter pulleys. You can make a stand. You can buy a used stand, when found, as Shopsmith had these in the past or buy a used Power Station which Shopsmith also sold in the past.

For a longer than 8" Lathe Tool Rest any one with a 3/4" diameter post to mount into the arm should work. My one concern would be going too long may allow enough pressure pushing down and inward during use on the end of the rest to flex/tilt the Rest out of line with the work.

Absolutely. My drill press is made from a Greenie and a 510 headstock. My 510 has the Greenie headstock casting upgraded to a PowerPro. Soon that Greenie headstock and PowerPro go back on the drill press with the rest of the Greenie parts because I acquired another PowerPro headstock to use on the 510.

I don't know how the market is in other locales but in the past few years I have purchased a few junkers around here for no more than $100 each that have given me an immense supply of parts, and they've come with extras like arbors, chucks, and even SPTS so I have spare parts for those too.

Never Never Ever discard something simply because you currently use something else(upgrade etc.).

The advice of a confirmed/self admitted hoarder.

How interesting, us curators say the same thing.

Sorry, just noticed this post. I doubt I have a spare one of those, I'm not positive I have all the parts for the jigsaw I have. If you can identify the part I could look through the collection of random unidentified parts for one. There is a jigsaw manual on Everett Davis' Google drive with a parts diagram at the end: viewtopic.php?p=185690#p185690


ETA: Now I see you're looking at this in another thread, and finding the help you need there.

Thank you for your time. Found what I needed.

The simplest solution would be to keep the old Hold-down assembly as illustrated in the OP's post and, with a single set screw, remove the new Hold-down and replace it with the old one for those times when you prefer the way the old one locks down
