Second Mark V Arrived Today
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2009 7:21 pm
Today I made a short trip and purchased a 2005 50th anniversary edition 510. This little jewel is complete including a band saw that looks as it has seldom been used. The history of my new jewell gives me the impression it may have been used a couple of times a year until two years ago when the original owner gifted it to his daughter and son in law. They had problems setting it up and parked it in the corner. I will begin tomorrow cleaning and lubricating before testing to see if it runs. It has little or no wax on tables or tubes yet showns no rust. It truly looks as though it is brand new. The band saw will likley be sold as I have no use for a second one. I am still a bit uncertain if I will adapt the 510 to become a dedicated OPR stand or set up my Incra TSIII on it it. Either way tis a nice gift to give myself three days before I have my shoulder surgery, other than lubrication and cleaning I will do little more than admire it for a month or three. fjim:)
