Current Status: BROKEN. REPLACEMENT PARTS ARRIVED. NEED TIME TO FIX.

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:

  • Belt sander
  • Bandsaw
  • Disc Sander

Functions of unknown usability:

  • 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.
  • 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
    • We do have the drill chuck & key. untested.
  • Scroll saw
    • This has leaked an enormous amount of oil. ???

Notes:

  • Beltsander belts are 6“x 48” - have a couple from Harbor Freight.
  • Bandsaw blades are 72“. We have one spare in the packaging currently.
  • Disc sander is 12”
  • 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.
