The Shopsmith Mark V will perform all the func-
tions of a table saw, disc sander, drill press, hori-
zontal boring machine, and wood lathe.
Basically, the Mark V is a rigid bench that holds
the headstock and the worktable system. The
upper part of this bench can be positioned hori-
zontally or vertically. The headstock and the
worktable slide independently and are positioned
along the upper tubes.
You can mount accessories to the headstock and
operate them at different speeds. The worktable
can be positioned over, under or beside these
accessories to hold stock at various angles. In this
way, the bench, headstock, worktable, and acces-
sories combine to make a unique, capable and
versatile woodworking system.
Before you proceed, familiarize yourself with the
Mark V’s basic parts:
1. Legs -- Support the way tubes and bench tubes.
2. Bench Tubes – Hold the Mark V rigid.
3. Way Tubes – Allow the headstock and carriage to
slide.
4. Base – Allows the way tubes to pivot to either a
horizontal or vertical position.
5. Base Lock– Secures the Mark V in the vertical
position.
6. Way Tube Tie Bar– Holds the free end of the way
tubes.
