Shopsmith Forums

Hello All-

I have been reading the forum for the past few days, and finally picked up a 1979 Mark V which was upgraded to 510. It included the usual stuff plus band saw, incra jig, angler table, tenon jig, bowl shaping tools, speed increaser and fence. It had some rust, but I am taking care of all that, including oiling waxing, graphite spray, etc!

Anyway, I reaized the one thing that is missing is the upper saw guard assembly with riving knife and all. I have the lower...its a bit beat up but functional I guess. I know there are a lot of guys posting on here in the Tampa area or central Florida, and I am in Lakeland. Does anybody have an extra they would be willing to part with or sell to me! Unfortunately I can't do anything with my new toy until I get one! I am completely new to woodworking and SS, so I am trying to figure this all out but it's daunting!

Just curious did you get that off E bay? I think i seen one like what you described on Ebay yesterday.

No , craigslist actually

The saw guards for the 510 are, of course, available from SS directly. They also show up on EBAY on a reasonably frequent basis. I needed the top piece for my 510 and picked it up on EBAY at a reasonable price.

Please contact me for any Shopsmith parts or help. I am in Plant City, just next door. 1-813-764-8343 Thanks.

Wow!! Thanks!

That really is literally 10 miles from my house! I sure could use a hand since I am not only new to shopsmith, but woodworking as a whole. I will call you tomorrow in the morning...not too early of course, probably 9:00-10:00 ish!

Thanks to Bill, I stopped by his place and picked up some great stuff! However, the one thing we could not find was the 510 upper saw guard! There are none on ebay right not so, if anyone has one to spare...please let me know!

Thanks
