I just aquired a Mark V from my grandfather. I am trying to to figure everything out on it but seem to be having difficulties setting up the bandsaw that came with it. It seems I am missing a part that connects the bandsaw to the motor. It looks like a sleeve of some sort should be used. Does anyone know what this is called so I can order the part.

What you need is the Powercoupler. The side with the spring always connects to the headstock.

I think this is what you need.
