Incra Miter 5000 (Shopsmith runners)

Post by TLW6380 »

Has anyone found a source for Shopsmith compatible miter bars that fit an Incra Miter 5000 or would be willing to part with a pair?

I am looking for:
1 - PM5K-700200 M5 Steel Miter Bar w/Expansion Disks (Shopsmith)
1 - PM5K-700300 Aluminum Miter Bar, 18” (Shopsmith)

I would suggest you contact incra directly. It is possible they have some old Shopsmith stock they can't be bothered to put on the website, and if enough people call and ask for the part, they might consider producing a limited run of them!

Here are the pictures of the PM5K-700200 M5 Steel Miter Bar w/Expansion Disks (Shopsmith) as promised in my PM. As noted, I was unable to locate the other part.

This is the overall bar, the total length including the T-slot tab is 26"

Here is the end that attaches to the miter gauge of the Miter 5000 there is a little scratching from the washer

There are some scratches on the back side of it. I don't know if these were there when I used it or happened in the intervening years that it sat in a drawer in the shop

Finally, you can see a bit of wear on the expansion disks where they rode in the miter slot.
