Mark V Jig Saw
A Jig Saw came with a used Shopsmith. The mechanism moves freely by hand turning. Does it look complete and are blades still available for it? Is there a market for it whole or for its parts?

Re: Mark V Jig Saw
After watching some videos on its use, it will be a clean-up and try it out project. Seems safer than the ban saw for smaller material cuts. Found some good posts on replacement blades via forum Search.

Re: Mark V Jig Saw
Except for the missing Plate that has the serial number and information it looks complete. The hold down (indicated by the green arrow) looks askew but from the picture looks complete. The Mounting Posts are upside down. It is important to know that you should never operate the Jigsaw without oil in the lower housing. There is a fill hole accessed by removing the screw indicated by the red arrow. Check out the Owner's Manual for the Jigsaw for operation and maintenance. I believe you will enjoy having this tool available and as you said it is safer to use for smaller material cuts than a Bandsaw.
