+Current Status: Partially functional. Speed changing is complicated at the moment. Needs a new dial.

-An original Shopsmith Mark V (1955ish Vintage), with Bandsaw and Beltsander, Table saw, Scroll saw, and other tooling.
-Current Status: Decently functional, though not all functions have been tested.
 Functions tested and working:
   *Belt sander
   *Bandsaw
+  *Disc Sander
 Functions of unknown usability:
   * Wood Lathe
-    * Would need a faceplate and MT2 tailstock center
+    * Would need a faceplate ($25-35, depending on size) and MT2 tailstock center ($20-40 from shopsmith, or probably less on ebay). Other options would be a chuck or spur center.
+    * We have a couple of MT2 live centers for the tailstock.
   * Table saw
-  * Disc Sander
+    * We have a number of (old, rusty, scary) blades. I have not seen a table saw arbor anywhere in the box of shopsmith accessories we have (a new one will be $31.99)
-  * Drill Press
+    * Quite frankly, it's not really worth using the table saw on this- we have two other table saws that are probably better.
+  * Drill Press/horzintal boring
+    * We do have the drill chuck & key. untested.
+    * Using a a drill press is probably a pain compared to using one of the other drill presses at the space due to the setup involved. However, if you need to horizontally bore something big, this may be a good method to do so.
   * Scroll saw
     * This has leaked an enormous amount of oil. ???
+    * We have another scroll saw.

   *Bandsaw blades are 72". We have one spare in the packaging currently.
   *Disc sander is 12"
+  *Belt should be replaced soon ($20 - http://www.shopsmith.com/service/svc_dtl.htm?item=521682&num=113)
+  * There are two belts, actually- the drive belt(regular V-belt) and a second belt that is a Gilmer (this machine is pre-1962). Replacement sets of two belts can be ebayed.
