NOMENCLATURE
The Shopsmith MARK V will perform all the
functions of a Table Saw, Disc Sander, Drill
Press, Horizontal Boring Machine, and Wood
Lathe.
Basically, the MARK V is a rigid Bench that
holds the Headstock and a Worktable System.
The upper part of this Bench can be positioned
horizontally or vertically. The Headstock and

You can mount Accessories to the Headstock
and operate them at different speeds. The
