Shopsmith Jigsaw

Post by rpd »

An old Shopsmith Jigsaw (made for the 10E/10ER) is for sale close to me.

The question is can it be modified to work on my Mk5 greenie?

It is currently mounted in a home made table/stand with a 1/2 hp motor but I am not sure I want to take up that much real estate in a small shop.

There are no 'fans' of that model that I am aware of.

I am positive there is reason for that lack of affection.;)

Since it was designed to mount directly on top of a '10', adapting it to a Mark 5/V would not be easy.
