-Current Status: Reasonably Functional, not all functions tested.
+Current Status: Partially functional. Speed changing is complicated at the moment. Needs a new dial.
 An original Shopsmith Mark V (1955-1962? 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:

   * Wood Lathe
     * 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
     * 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.

   *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 either Poly-V or Gilmer. We'll have to open it up to know which is which (suspect it may be Gilmer as Poly-V was only added to the Mark V 500 in 1964?) Replacement sets of two belts can be ebayed.
